Soon I will be here no more
 You'll hear the tale
 Through my blood
 Through my people
 And the eagle's cry
 The bear within will never lay to rest
 
 Wandering on Horizon Road
 Following the trail of tears
 
 White man came
 Saw the blessed land
 We cared, you took
 You fought, we lost
 Not the war but an unfair fight
 Sceneries painted beautiful in blood
 
 Wandering on Horizon Road
 Following the trail of tears
 Once we were here
 Where we have lived since the world began
 Since time itself gave us this land
 
 [Singing in Lakotan]
 
 Our souls will join again the wild
 Our home in peace 'n war 'n death
 
 Wandering on Horizon Road...
 Following the trail of tears
 Once we were here
 Where we have been since the world began
 Since time itself gave us this land
 
 [Poem in Lakotan:]
 Hanhepi iyuha mi ihanbla ohinni yelo
 
 Òn sunkmanitutankapi hena,
 sunkawakanpi watogha hena,
 
 oblaye t'ankapi oihankesni hena
 
 T'at'epi kin asni kiyasni he
 akatanhanpi iwankal
 
 Oblaye t'anka kin
 osicesni mitakuyepi òn
 
 Makoce kin wakan
 Wakan Tanka kin òn
 
 Miwicala ohinni - Hanhepi iyuha
 kici - Anpetu iyuha kici yelo
 
 Mi yececa hehaka kin yelo, na
 ni yececa sunkmanitutankapi
 
 kin ka mikaga wowasaka isom
 
 Uncinpi tuweni nitaku keyas ta k'u
 
 Unwakupi e'cela e wiconi
 wanji unmakainapi ta yelo
 
 Anpetu waste e wan olowan
 le talowan winyan ta yelo
 
 Unwanagi pi lel e nita it'okab o'ta ye
 
 Untapi it'okab o'ta
 
 Na e kte ena òn hanska ohakap
 ni itansni a'u nita ni ihanke yelo
 
 [Poem English translation:]
 "I still dream every night
 Of them wolves, them mustangs, those endless prairies
 The restless winds over mountaintops
 The unspoilt frontier of my kith n'kin
 The hallowed land of the Great Spirit
 I still believe
 In every night
 In every day
 I am like the caribou
 And you like the wolves that make me stronger
 We never owed you anything
 Our only debt is one life for our Mother
 It was a good day to chant this song
 For Her
 
 Our spirit was here long before you
 Long before us
 And long will it be after your pride brings you to your end "
