I mourn 100 years since wounded knee
I scorn disgrace my race has brought to me
Tell me, who in Hell are we?

We're the ones who will heal the hoop
The ones who will mend this broken circle
We gotta heal the hoop
All we need is a miracle

I hear the prayers of those who are never heard
My tears will tell you more than any words
I fear most of us have never learned at all

exploding them one by one
unleashing the power of the sun
All upon the Shoshone people
It's killing them one by one

We're gonna heal the hoop
The ones who will mend this broken circle
We gotta heal the hoop
Hear the prayers of Shoshone people

To you thoughts of heaven come easily
Can you teach us living in harmony
Tell me, does it come naturally to you?

exploding them one by one
unleashing the power of the sun
All upon the Shoshone people
It's killing them one by one

Below, upon the Earth we all are born
Above, the winged ones in every form
Within, and all around us will rise a storm

We're the ones who will heal the hoop
The ones who will mend this broken circle
We gotta heal the hoop
All we need is a Miracle

we gotta heal the hoop
we gotta heal the hoop
we gotta heal the hoop
we gotta heal the hoop
