Right the Wrong

An Indian woman buried her grampa in the Black Hills

When she was young he used to tell her

That these hills belonged to her still

And even though injustice took them hills away

"One day we'll get them back," he said

"And the sun's gonna shine that day"

"When we say, right the wrong"

Before she laid him down to rest

She heard his voice in the wilderness

Sayin', "I got six feet of it back"

"And now we can right the wrong"

Right the wrong, hear the song

Before long you won't hear nothing but the crackle of flames

Right the wrong, hear the song

Would you rather die knowing that you did or keep living in shame

Did you hear the one about the boy just 17?

Three years hard time for stealing ice cream

First offence and all his dreams are gone

How long before they right the wrong?

Right the wrong, hear the song

Before long you won't hear nothing but the crackle of flames

Right the wrong, hear the song

Would you rather die knowing that you did or keep living in shame

Right the wrong

Two, three, uh

One, two, one, two, come on

Right the wrong, baby

Far be it from me to say

It seem like we could stop the flow of snow in the sky today

But I guess the weather man, he likes the rain

Ain't that insane

Now sing

Right the wrong, hear the song

Before long you won't hear nothing but the crackle of flames

Right the wrong, hear the song

Would you rather die knowing that you did or keep living in shame

Come on, come on, come on

Did you hear me baby?

Right the wrong

I'm six feet in the grave

I'm six feet in the grave

Right, right, right

Right the wrong, right the wrong

Right the wrong, right the wrong

Right the wrong (right the wrong, right the wrong)

Right the wrong, right the wrong

Right the wrong, right the wrong

Right the wrong, right the wrong

Right the wrong (right the wrong, right the wrong)

Ashes to ashes, dust to dust (right the wrong, right the wrong)

This young man with a talented soul (right the wrong, right the wrong)

Died when he wanted two (right the wrong, right the wrong)

The life that lives (right the wrong, right the wrong)

So he shall not be pitied

Nor shall the guity be forgiven

Until they find it in their hearts to right the wrong
