Native Son

1.Native Son (Bryan Adams) sözleri

Bryan Adams tarafından Into The Fire albümünde söylenen Native Son adlı şarkının sözleri.

I've seen many moons through these wrinkled eyes
The years have made me old but they've made me wise
Now the white man lives where our rivers run

For now better days have passed
We walk the streets of broken glass
Our people vanished as snow before the summer sun
Like dogs we were driven from this place
Such injustice, time will not erase
All these changes cannot be undone

When you feel the anger inside of you
Hold your head high - let your aim be true
Though your heart beats like a drum
My native son

Once there was a time my little one
Before the wagons - before the soldiers' guns
When this land was ours as far as the eagle flies

No white flag - no broken truce
With few words one can speak the truth - I don't hear it
Time won't heal it now

With each new day that comes to pass
Will the great spirit free us all at last?
He said we were the chosen ones

For all we had there's nothin' left
We wont forgive - we can't forget
You know that your day will come
My native son

With each new day that comes to pass
Will the great spirit free us all at last?
What has happened can never be undone

When I was young - not yet a man
The sun rose and set upon our land
We were the chosen ones
My native son

2.Native Son (John Hiatt) sözleri

John Hiatt tarafından albümünde söylenen Native Son adlı şarkının sözleri.

You finally found the mainstream
In the middle of your life
You tapped into a vein
Of endless gold chains
Now you're locked up tight
Tearing down the middle of it
Splitting it right in half
Bobbing up and down the waves
Like a runaway slave
On a Huck Finn raft

CHORUS:
Take your wife
Take your family
Take your gun
Running through the woods
And the burned out neighborhoods
Looking for someone
A member of your tribe
A Place you can hide
'Til the war has begun
'Cause in the fields before the flood
You'll be spilling blood
Like a native son

3.Native Son (Matthew Good Band) sözleri

Matthew Good Band tarafından albümünde söylenen Native Son adlı şarkının sözleri.

Well it isn't anything so different
Than living underneath a dying star
Well this is what we all get up for
When the clocks go out of time
Cause nothing short of
War and death and money
Will ever f.... change your mind
There are a million ways to die son
And there are a million places to choose from
So don't look up
You might find that your head is stuck
No one's going to bail us out of this one

Every time ı call your name
Somehow ı wish it was the same
For me and you and all the things we do
Not in vain
And who will kill this native son
Who will learn from everything that we have done
And who will we get to stand up for tomorrow?
