True History

Yeah they rewrote history
To satisfy their need
Seized opportunity and never paid the deed

They took the natives captive
But they were the real madmen
And said that it never happened

But deep inside of me it's never been a mystery
We never will be free until we know true history

Yeah, they rewrote the history book
To qualify their greed
Lied about the lives they took, and buried dirty deeds
They cut down the family tree, justified their actions
Acting like it never happened

But deep inside of me it's never been a mystery
We never will be free until we know true history
We must learn the truth - Truth will set us free
Can't be fooled for eternity - Wisdom is true history

Wretched minds believe their own lies
Passing it down to the children
God please open our eyes - Lead the sheep out
Of the wilderness - Help us to see true history

I need to know true history Wounded Knee
To Tel Aviv I need to know true history
Kennedy Dr. King They cry out for
Ture history I cry out for true history
