[Verse 1] Victorio, walk the hard road Dust on your boots, no fear in your face Under the mesquite shade You stood your ground in a hunted place You kept your people moving Kept the fire from going cold When the world came calling You answered with an iron soul [Pre-Chorus] Oh, they tried to break you Oh, they could not bend The name of your courage Still rides the canyon wind [Chorus] Victorio, Geronimo Mangas Coloradas We sing your names We sing them proud Victorio, Geronimo Mangas Coloradas Still in the hills Still in the ground [Verse 2] Geronimo, thunder voice Sharp as rain on stone Every step you took Said you would not bow alone And Mangas Coloradas With the red earth in your name You held that wide horizon Like a torch that would not change [Pre-Chorus] Oh, they tried to quiet you Oh, they could not win The old ways still remember The strength that lived within [Chorus] Victorio, Geronimo Mangas Coloradas We sing your names We sing them proud Victorio, Geronimo Mangas Coloradas Still in the hills Still in the ground [Bridge] For the children coming after For the stories left to tell We keep the line unbroken We keep it strong and well [Final Chorus] Victorio, Geronimo Mangas Coloradas We sing your names We sing them proud Victorio, Geronimo Mangas Coloradas Still in the hills Still in the ground Victorio, Geronimo Mangas Coloradas Ancient and alive Forever in the sound
