[Verse]
A river runs deep through the blood we keep
Ancient drums
They echo in my sleep
Smoke curls high
Where the stories meet
[Chorus]
Reservation blues
They hum so low
A song of a people
A strength that won't go
Reservation blues
Where the wild winds blow
[Verse 2]
Earth underfoot
It still remembers
Fires burn bright in the cold Decembers
A nation stands strong
Unbowed defenders
[Prechorus]
They took the land
But not the soul
We stitch the pieces
Make it whole
[Chorus]
Reservation blues
They hum so low
A song of a people
A strength that won't go
Reservation blues
Where the wild winds blow
[Bridge]
Feathers in the sky
Freedom's cry
A spirit that no man can deny
Through the pain
We rise
We try
