Cheyenne Anthem Lyrics
From the mountains to the sun, life has only just begun
We wed this land and pledge our souls to meet its end
Life has only just begun
Here my people roam the earth in the kingdom of our birth
Where the dust of all our horses hides the sun
We are mighty on the earth, on the earth
You have come to move me, take me from my ancient home
Land of my fathers, I can't leave you now
We will share it with you, no man owns this earth we're on
Now the wheels are rolling, hear the howling winds of war
It's my destiny to fight and die
But is there no solution? Can we find no other way?
Lord, let me stay under the endless sky and the earth below
Here I was born to live and I will never go, oh no
But we cannot endure like the earth and the mountains
Life is not ours to keep, for a new sun is rising
Soon these days shall pass away,
for our freedom we must pay
All our words and deeds are carried on the wind
In the ground our bodies lay, here we’ll stay
We wed this land and pledge our souls to meet its end
Life has only just begun
Here my people roam the earth in the kingdom of our birth
Where the dust of all our horses hides the sun
We are mighty on the earth, on the earth
Land of my fathers, I can't leave you now
We will share it with you, no man owns this earth we're on
Now the wheels are rolling, hear the howling winds of war
It's my destiny to fight and die
But is there no solution? Can we find no other way?
Lord, let me stay under the endless sky and the earth below
Here I was born to live and I will never go, oh no
Life is not ours to keep, for a new sun is rising
for our freedom we must pay
All our words and deeds are carried on the wind
In the ground our bodies lay, here we’ll stay

Believe this song is about native indians being wiped out by the white man.
My favorite song on the album. Awesome!
That last line is wrong... It should be. In the ground our bodies lay, here we"ll stay... I think!
that happens with some of their other lyrics too, they sing something different from what's written. Lonely Street comes to mind haha. I agree, I think it is "here we('ll) stay"
