LYRICS:

MASON
I’m helping future generations
Move forward with their nations
Understanding our cultures
We’re planning our futures

DIXIE
They took our land
They took our people
Come take my hand
And hold it 'till you never feel alone

JERRHAN
I am the one who stands alone
Don't stop me, don't mess with my home
I am the one who doesn't fit in
Why? Is it because of my red skin?
They call us indians like they know us all
Well screw off.
You wont break us down
We are not weak, we are strong
If you thought that before, then you thought wrong

RYVER
Driving through the city when it rains in my own space
Overthinking 'bout it all but it's okay
I been gone it all feels so grey
Bring colour through the music now I'm loving my place

RHEGAN
Too much inside my head
Lonely road, know where I am
Cloudy thoughts inside my mind
Love for myself I will find

CHORUS
I wanna dance, I wanna be free
Leave us alone, I wanna be me
Healing our past, in a new world
Forget those lies, you’ve been told

NOVALIE
I learn about my traditions at the Sundance, it’s my chance
To see the ways of my people
To feel the love, see the eagle

MIKEY
Having fun like we walking to the pow wow
Got the culture like you know we never bow down
Uh, yeah, I have the hustle
I'm on the grounds where I'm fixing up my bustles

JOHNNY
Too many thoughts feeling spaced out
In this world I'm just tryna find a way out
Start watching while they thinking that I play around
It's a long way home, now I know what it's about

CEANEA
In the rain when it comes around
All these thoughts gotta let 'em out
Blue I don't wanna feel it
Truth I just want the healing

ELLIE
At the Pow wow, I clear my head
I feel strong and I feel brave
In my bones, I feel the sage
This is my safe place

CHORUS
I wanna dance, I wanna be free
Leave us alone, I wanna be me
Healing our past, in a new world
Forget those lies, you’ve been told

EMMA & KODI
We’re going to the powwow
We’re gonna have a good time
Drinking our bepsi
Eating our fried bread
Gonna do a round or two
Before grand entry
We finally have our culture back
