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
