lyrics

Run For Freedom
(For Kimberly Rose Means)

Brothers and sisters ancestors are with us now
We do carry sacred freedom to prison grounds
Sing it loud

Run for freedom
Brothers and sisters brave and strong
Run for freedom
Out of the darkness will come the dawn

We have suffered, convicted of crimes not done
Locked behind walls by the laws of the white man’s gun
That’s why we run

Run for freedom
Brothers and sisters brave and strong
Run for freedom
Out of the darkness will come the dawn

Crazy Horse we remember the life you gave
Crazy Horse through your courage we are not afraid
To shout and say

Run for freedom
Brothers and sisters brave and strong
Run for freedom
Out of the darkness will come the dawn

Eagle flies, soaring spirit on the run
Sacrifice, offering prayers beneath the sun
While the horses run

Run for freedom
Brothers and sisters brave and strong
Run for freedom
Out of the darkness will come the dawn

When the wind whispers, we remember Kimberly
Child of tomorrow, day of sorrow, tragedy
But she believed in this

Run for freedom
Brothers and sisters brave and strong
Run for freedom
Out of the darkness will come the dawn
