“Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.” [Chorus] I will fight no more forever No more Forever… forever… FOREVER!!! [Verse 1] Betrayed continually by white generals Who pledged every treaty then broke them all Deception after deception, lies upon lies He saw it in the death of children and heard it in their mother’s cries “Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.” [Chorus] I will fight no more forever No more Forever… forever… FOREVER!!! [Verse 2] Hunted like prey by the white generals He avoided their armies and deceived them all Nineteen hundred kilometers he avoided their traps, But his tribe was starving and facing collapse. “Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.” [Bridge] His words are as true now as they were before “I believe much trouble would be saved if we opened our hearts more.” If we listened to him now there’s so much wisdom if we want it, “The earth is the mother of all people, and all people should have equal rights upon it.” [Chorus] I will fight no more forever No more Forever… forever… FOREVER!!! Chief Joseph, leader of the Nez Perce, Chief Tooyalakekt “Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands I will fight no more forever.”
