Afternoon Matinee: Protest - Wooden Indian

Performed by John Denver

Well I was a red man

I was proud, I was strong

You were the white man

And you stole away my home

Now I am a wooden Indian

Painted dreams inside my head

Times THE WAY you bring me down

Make ME wish THAT I was dead

Na na na na nana.....

Ay, I was a red man

In my passing made no sound

You were the white man

And you drove me in the ground

Now I am a wooden Indian

Standing silent in the rain

Swear BY my grandfather's father

We're GONNA rise again

Na na na

Ay, I was a red man

I was proud, I was strong

You were the white man

And you stole away my home

Now I am a wooden Indian

Standing silent in the rain

Swear BY my grandfather's father

We're gonna rise again
