Power Of American Natives
Ben Liebrand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I believe in the power of American natives
Untamed people in an untouched land
With pride in their culture and pride in their clan
(you know it) didn't take long before the world got around
First come first serve just take what you found
They fought for their world and they paid with their lives
The eagle flies across a blood red sky
Remind you of the past and brings tears to your eyes
I believe in the power of American natives
I believe in the power of American natives
The lyrics of Ben Liebrand's song, "Power of American Natives," speak of the admiration and respect for the indigenous peoples of the United States. The singer declares their belief in the power of American natives, both in terms of their individual and collective strength, as well as their cultural legacy. The song speaks of them as untamed people in an untouched land, highlighting their close connection to the natural world and their culture.
The song also acknowledges the struggles and injustices that Native Americans have faced throughout history, from the early colonial period to the forced removals of the 19th century and beyond. It references the fact that the world took notice of the native peoples and their way of life, but not necessarily out of respect or compassion. The line "first come first serve just take what you found" seems to hint at the dispossession and exploitation of Native peoples' lands and resources.

I believe in the power of American natives
I have faith in the strength and ability of Native Americans
Untamed people in an untouched land
Native Americans were living in a wild and uninhabited region
With pride in their culture and pride in their clan
They honored their traditions and held their family and community in high regard
(you know it) didn't take long before the world got around
Their reputation spread quickly
First come first serve just take what you found
Those who arrived early took what they wanted without regard for the Native's rights
They fought for their world and they paid with their lives
Native Americans tried to protect their way of life and were willing to die for it
Stood proud until the end in the face of all those lies
Despite being subjected to falsehoods and deception, they remained resilient and dignified
The eagle flies across a blood red sky
This imagery symbolizes the violence and trauma inflicted upon the Native Americans
Remind you of the past and brings tears to your eyes
The past still evokes strong emotions of sadness and sorrow
I believe in the power of American natives
Once again, the artist reiterates their belief in the indomitable spirit of the Native Americans
