Three Fire Names

[Verse 1] On the plains where the buffalo ran Three names rose up like fire Crazy Horse with the painted face Steady as a mountain higher Sitting Bull with the eyes of dawn Held the line through the cold Red Cloud walked with a thunder heart And the stories still get told [Pre-Chorus] Hear that prayer in the grass Hear that drum in the ground Three strong shadows on the hills Still carry this town [Chorus] Crazy Horse (stand tall) Sitting Bull (stand tall) Red Cloud (stand tall) Your names still call Crazy Horse Sitting Bull Red Cloud We sing you on [Verse 2] They fought for the land and the children For the trails and the living sky For the water, the law, the future For the right to remain and rise Not for glory, not for gold But for home and sacred ground When the long night came for their people They were there, unbowed [Pre-Chorus] Hear that prayer in the grass Hear that drum in the ground Three strong shadows on the hills Still carry this town [Chorus] Crazy Horse (stand tall) Sitting Bull (stand tall) Red Cloud (stand tall) Your names still call Crazy Horse Sitting Bull Red Cloud We sing you on [Bridge] Let the river keep their memory Let the children know their fire Let the old words stay unbroken Let the truth climb ever higher From the campfire to the courthouse From the prairie to the dawn Their spirit rides the open country And the road goes on [Final Chorus] Crazy Horse (stand tall) Sitting Bull (stand tall) Red Cloud (stand tall) Your names still call Crazy Horse Sitting Bull Red Cloud We sing you on Crazy Horse Sitting Bull Red Cloud We carry on
