lyrics

Willow Weeps
The willow weeps
The secrets that you keep
And you can catch all of my dreams
Every time I fall fast asleep (x2)

Born in a land I can’t call my own
A place where my forefathers roamed
Land of the free, home of the brave
Now all I see are forgotten graves
They took our spirits changed our name
To try to make us all look the same
Pledge allegiance to Uncle Sam
But you’ll never change who I am

The willow weeps
The secrets that you keep
And you can catch all of my dreams
Every time I fall fast asleep (x2)

While we were trying to be the same
Everything around us changed
I’m the one that’s from here
Why they looking at me strange
Move us from our home to a foreign land
Then they cut us down every time that we ran
But if running was the thing to do
Where would we run to?
Under the blare of a bugle’s horn
They came and burned the corn
With a bible in one hand
A gun in the other
They stole my sister
And killed my brother

The willow weeps
The secrets that you keep
And you can catch all of my dreams
Every time I fall fast asleep (x2)

Left, right, left
I am a soldier
Where my soldiers at?
Left, right, left
I am a soldier
Where my soldiers at?

The streams you drank from we can no longer drink
The thoughts I thought before I can no longer think
And every time I take another breath
I wonder how many breaths that I’m gonna have left
The wind whispers as the willow weeps
There’s a secret out there that we cannot keep
We got our pride and that’s something we can’t hide
They say don’t show what you know on the outside

The willow weeps
The secrets that you keep
And you can catch all of my dreams
Every time I fall fast asleep (x2)

Left, right, left
I am a soldier
Where my soldiers at?
Left, right, left
I am a soldier
Where my soldiers at?
