Standing Rock Plain (Lyrics):

Travel safe my dear, don't get caught in the rain,
was the last thing you said, before I rode away
(chorus)
I'm Taking my horse to Standing Rock Plain
Where the sisters and brothers all sing in refrain
Let the Waters run clear on our ancestral land
Don't want no black oil, nor the pain that it brings

Hope I see you my dear and our babies again
If the cops, armoured trucks don't haul us away
Please Mr President give us back our green Earth
No more black oil, machines, or red rust

(chorus)
I'm making my way to Standing Rock Plain 
Where the Great Sioux Nation all sing in Refrain
Don't want the black gold, nor the pain that it brings 
Let the waters run clear on our ancestral land

They'd lay that pipeline a thousand miles long
Cut straight thru the bone of our sacred old home 
and they'd lay that pipeline a thousand years more
pollutin' the waters with a future fargone

(chorus)
I'm Taking my horse to Standing Rock Plain
Where the sisters and brothers all sing in refrain
Let the Waters run clear on our ancestral land
Don't want no black oil, nor the pain that it brings 
I'm making my way to Standing Rock Plain 
Where the Great Sioux Nation all sing in Refrain
Don't want the black gold, nor the pain that it brings
Let the waters run clear on our ancestral land
...if we don't take a stand for all the babes just born
and we make our stand for all the children unborn
