Broken Arrow Lyrics
[Verse 1]
This broken arrow
Needs heeding
When great white fathers
Your mistress is inequality
[Chorus]
Rash and reckless won't get us to
Where we want to be
Are we emancipators or oppressors
Of lady liberty?
[Post-Chorus]
Have we lost her?
Have we lost her?
Have we lost her?
[Verse 2]
This broken arrow
Needs heeding
When great white fathers
Our poisoned rivers feed your greed
[Chorus]
Rash and reckless won't get us to
Where we want to be
Ancient songlines are singing
To wake lady liberty
[Bridge]
She may seem weak
We may be battle-weary
Still those songlines sing
From our Great Lakes
To our sacred Badlands
Over sweet prairies
No, I'm not letting go
I won't be silenced or frozen out
By those who must account
In our Senate and in the House
[Alt Chorus]
We the people
Dear judges will be watching
Over you
Over you
[Post-Chorus]
Have we lost her?
Have we lost her?
Have we lost her?
[Outro]

Over you
Over you
Have we lost her?
Have we lost her?
