Robbie Robertson - Ghost Dance

Lyrics:
Crow has brought the message
to the children of the sun
for the return of the buffalo
and for a better day to come
You can kill my body
You can damn my soul
for not believing in your god
and some world down below
You don't stand a chance
against my prayers
You don't stand a chance
against my love
They outlawed the Ghost Dance
but we shall live again,
we shall live again
My sister above
She has red paint
She died at Wounded Knee
like a later day saint
You got the big drum in the distance
blackbird in the sky
That's the sound that you hear
when the buffalo cry
You don't stand a chance
against my prayers
You don't stand a chance
against my love
They outlawed the Ghost Dance
but we shall live again,
we shall live again
Crazy Horse was a mystic
He knew the secret of the trance
And Sitting Bull the great apostle
of the Ghost Dance
Come on Comanche
Come on Blackfoot
Come on Shoshone
Come on Cheyenne
We shall live again
Come on Arapaho
Come on Cherokee
Come on Paiute
Come on Sioux
We shall live again

Amazing song! My dad (since passed) was Lakota (he adopted me) and he used to listen to all kinds of native music… I haven’t been able to remember the names of the songs I remember Joann Shenandoah but no other artists… til remembered the lyrics “they outlawed the ghost dance” …google search later and found myself here… I’m in tears! It’s crazy too because it’s like my dad is alive in me in this moment… and this is giving me so much strength right now for the struggle I am going through and it’s CRAZY! Like, this is the definition of the ghost dance… that we are all one and those we lose here in the physical realm are not gone forever… and they are alive in us when we ghost dance and in any moments… they are with us and will see us into the next life when our time comes and they will unite with us then and there on… we are never apart from one another’s SPIRITS.

The ghost dance. It scared the white man. So spiritual. Thank you Robbie and the nations of the people.

There's plenty reasons why he is a legend.
