I was born where the rivers run
Native blood runs through my veins
I was born where the eagles come
Waiting till the winter fades

I was born an endangered son
I was spared by a mother's dream
I was saved by the power of love
I was snatched from the fire of greed
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/j/jason+upton/great+river+road_20208908.html ]
Great river road where justice rolled
Let it roll, let it roll down
Great river road where healing flowed
Let it flow, let it flow now

I was born to an orphaned son
I was seed from a broken life
I was just like the other ones
Waiting on the other side

I was born because freedom won
Mother sent me down the stream
I was saved by the power of love
I was snatched from the fire of greed
