|
Swan lee got up at the running foot pow-wow, |
|
Heading from the fire to his waiting canoe. |
|
Chattering squaw untied the wigwam door, |
|
The chief blew smoke rings two by two! |
|
The land in silence stands... |
|
Swan lee, his boat by the bank in the darkness, |
|
Loosened the rope in the creek is entwined. |
|
A feather from the wing of a wild young eagle, |
|
Pointed to the land where his fortune he'd find |
|
The land in silence stands... |
|
Swan lee paddled on from the land of his fathers, |
|
His eyes scanned the undergrowth on either side. |
|
From the shore hung a hot, heavy, creature infested |
|
Tropic, swan lee had a bow by his side |
|
The land in silence stands... |
|
Swan lee kept time, half on land, half on water, |
|
Grizzly bear and raccoon his fare. |
|
He followed his ears to the great water fall, |
|
Swan lee knew deep down that his squaw was there! |
|
The land in silence stands.... |
|
Suddenly the rush of the mighty great thunder, |
|
Confronted swan lee as his song he sang, |
|
In the dawn, with his squaw, he was battling homewards |
|
It was all written down by long silas lang. |
|
The land in silence stands... |
|
The land in silence stands... |
|
The land in silence stands. |
