IRON HORSE: THE LONGEST WALK
Music & Lyrics by: Robby Romero & Robert Mirabal
There’s an Iron Horse coming down the track
And it’s bringing the people back
Rolling thunder fills the sky
Wipe your tears, let’em dry
The longest walk will reunite
We’re coming together into the light
Emancipation One Nation in celebration
All our relations
I’m at the edge of night, I can touch the edge of light
Hope lies beyond these shackles and walls
I see fires ignite fries of freedom burning bright
Iron wheels in buffalo dreams, she calls
There’s an Iron Horse coming down the track
And it’s bringing the people back
Rolling thunder fills the sky
Wipe your tears, let’em dry
The longest walk will reunite
We’re coming together into the light
Emancipation One Nation in celebration
All our relations
Like an eagle feather fallen into my hand
On a journey of a thousand miles, guided by the stars, I reach my family’s land
Follow the red willow escape these prison bars
There’s a stronghold in a sacred circle to heal the oppressors’ scars
There’s an Iron Horse coming down the track
And it’s bringing the people back
Rolling thunder fills the sky
Wipe your tears, let’em dry
There’s an Iron Horse coming down the track
And it’s bringing the people back
Rolling thunder fills the sky
Wipe your tears, let’em dry
The longest walk will reunite
We’re coming together into the light
Emancipation One Nation in celebration
All our relations
As I walk this sacred land, I lift my arrows to the sky
Thunder, behold, I’m stronger with you
Sing Me to the Grandfather’s Tree
I hear them singing us back home
Lift up my hands, I’m free, I’m free
Freedom
