(First aired during Episode 15)
God made the Indians, gave them a home.
Mountains to wander, forests to roam.
And the streams were clear as diamonds.
And the grass was green as rain, and the trees grew tall forever.
Turtle Island was its name.
Then came the white man from over the sea
Many a brave man yearned to be free.
And they saw the land before them
But they saw it with their eyes, and they killed their red brothers and sisters
With their wicked loving lies.
Time passes quickly. Those days are gone.
Only the memory of terror lives on.
But the streams that flow are filthy
And the air’s a killing fog, and they’re cutting down the ancient trees
Just to bring in bigger logs.
My children’s children must live on this land.
If we won’t save it, nobody can.
And the children want to know
Why the earth is filled with pain.
Like that red man long ago, can we love her once again?
