Afterword Songtext
von Peter Buffett

If the white man wants to live in peace
With the Indian, he can live in peace
There need be no trouble
Treat all men alike
Give them all the same law
Give them all an even chance to live and grow


You might as well expect the rivers to run backward as
That any man who was born a free man should be contented
When penned up and denied liberty to go where he pleases

We only ask an even chance to live as other men live
We ask to be recognized as men

Let me be a free man
Free to travel
Free to stop
Free to work
Free to choose my own teachers
Free to follow the religion of my fathers
Free to think and talk and act for myself
