We traveled through this land a thousand years ago

We were the first to see the purple skies

I wondered round the desert in a mask of gold

I left a thousand things for you to find



I left my home where your houses stand

I left my gold where your highways ran

I lived my life on what you call your land

I left my soul in the aztec sand



The days grow long the nights are getting warmer

The rains are few beneath the blazing sun

Traveling fathers finding little water

The time has come when we must play this world



I left my home where your houses stand

I left my gold where your highways ran

I lived my life on what you call your land

I left my soul in the aztec sand



Round and round

Our lifetime goes

Where does it end

Someone must know



I've got a family now but you wouldn't know them

They're beaten down so hard they can hardly stand

We used to live so brave so free like an eagle

Now they make us live like a crippled man



I left my home where your houses stand

I left my gold where your highways ran

I lived my life on what you call your land

I left my soul in the aztec sand
