Sacrifice
4
You know we have a million stories to tell
5
I'm just one of a million or more stories that could be told
6
Chorus:
7
Sacrifice your freedom
8
Sacrifice your prayer
9
Take away your language
10
Cut off all your hair
11
Sacrifice the loved ones
12
Who always stood by me
13
Stranded in the wasteland
14
Set my spirit free
15
My name is leonard peltier
16
I am a lakota and anishnabe
17
And i am living in the united states penitentiary
18
Which is the swiftest growing
19
Indian reservations in the country
20
I have been in prison since 1976
21
For an incident that took place on the oglala-lakota nation
22
There was a shoot-out between members of the american indian movement
23
And the fbi and the local sheriffs state troopers
24
Two agents were killed and one indian was murdered
25
Three of us were charged with the deaths of the fbi agents
26
My co-defendants were found not-guilty by reasons of self-defense
27
My case was separated and i was found guilty before a jury of non-indian
28
People
29
The prosecutor stated that they did not know who killed their agents
30
Nor did he know what participation leonard peltier may have played in it
31
But someone has to pay for the crime
32
There's a lot of nights that i lay in my cell
33
And i can't understand why this hell this hell and this terror
34
That i have been going through for twenty-one years hasn't ended
35
Chorus
36
But yet i know in my heart that someone has to pay sacrifice
37
To make things better for our people
38
The sacrifice i have made when i really sit down to think about it
39
Is nothing compared to what our people a couple hundred years ago
40
Or fifty years ago or twenty-five years ago have made
41
Some gave their lives
42
Some had to stand there and watch their children die in their arms
43
So the sacrifice i have made is nothing compared to those
44
I've gone too far now to start backing down
45
I don't give up
46
Not 'til my people are free will i give up
47
And if i have to sacrifice some more
48
Then i sacrifice some more
