My name is Crowfoot Riff en E

You don't know who I am E / G /

I was born at Blackfoot crossing E

Where my elders ashes lay E

But my land has been sold A

But my land has been sploilt A-7

You know once, the earth was sacred E-

My bare feet walked on her G / A / E

You thought we were savage
But we also prayed one god
Our tipis were our churches
Our fires reached the skies
We were dancers in a circle
not the center of the world

You know once, the earth was sacred

My bare feet walked on her

When I walked in a forest

I was talking to the trees

The bear and the eagle

I tried to catch their soul

And the Great Spirit thanked me

Just To take care of his world

Don't you know, the earth was sacred

My bare feet walked on her

Now I live in the city

Where the stars don't shine no more

Sometimes I'm going crazy

I miss the wind and the sun

When I was a young boy

My mother used to say

You know once, the earth was sacred

My bare feet walked on her
