Jay Ducharme - More Than the Stars Lyrics

Once trees stood tall and grass was green
Once water flowed cold and clean
The land gave life, we flourished here
It gave us bison, birds and deer
How many roamed the earth?
More than the stars
Then strangers came from across the sea
To conquer earth like an enemy
Forever changed the peace we knew
We fear for them, for what they do
How many more will come?
More than the stars
So many lives built upon this land
Lost in the grip of a stranger's hand
How many years till our fears are gone
How many years must our tears flow on
Our harvest burns, our streams run dry
I ask the earth, I ask the sky
How many years must pass?
More than the stars
