When The Land Belonged To God
WHEN THE LAND BELONGED TO GOD

VERSE
Old man came from the rising sun, spark of life in his hand
And arranged the world of day and and night
He made a woman and her son of clay and then
Gave his children the breath of life
Gave his children the breath of life
VERSE
Winter winds blew cold and strong and life was harsh
And the weak fell victim to the beast
But summer grass grew green and long and the buffalo marched
And his children danced for the coming feast
His children danced for the coming feast
CHORUS
When The Land Belonged To God
His children listened to the old man’s song
They danced in rhythm with the seasons
O’ When the Land Belonged to God
O’ When the Land Belonged to God
VERSE
For many moons they walked this land Old Man as their guide
Living off the bounty he created
And as they made their final stand the Old Man cried
His children’s way of life was fading
His children’s way of life was fading
CHORUS (Repeat)
