Great America

by Bradley Peter   Oct 29, 2006


Western worriers stood their ground
In their every inch, courage was found
But yet, still, try as they might
The western worriers lost this fight

Their rightful land, taken away
They fled to sections, where still they stay
The newcomers tore the land apart
And stripped the land of it's truest heart

The worriers took it on the chin
Kept all the anger caged deep within
The newcomers called the land their own
And turned grass and trees to modern stone

Though the white man's wealth ran deep
This new found land was not theirs to keep
They killed the people, and walked their lands
And took 'Great America' out of their hands
