My Skin Was Red

There is one who stands behind me, who is Red, True, a little taller, and has always got my back.

In another Day

In another Way 

My skin was Red

I lived with no Bed

In another Time

Before the Crime

I walked this Land

I was sifted like the Sand

I wore Paint

I was no Saint

But Power rolled through my Hands

I knew my meaning of my Glands

I stood on a Hill 

A time before the Pill

I went to the Mother

For my Medicine like no Other

I was a Humble Man, but Clear

Knowing to hold my Heart Near

I saw beyond this image Painted

I saw myself and never Fainted

I stood for Truth

I was strong from my Youth

Living the Life of my Tribe 

You could never turn me with a Bribe

I was never taught the things I know Now

I was never taught that I needed to Bow

Standing True I knew, I Knew

That I was gifted with a Heart that was True

This one who lived so long Ago

He is my Brother that I've come to Know

I don't know how I'm able to feel him Near

But when he's with me I have no Fear
