Robbie Robertson - Ghost Dance Lyrics
Crow has brought the message
To the children of the sun
For the return of the buffalo
And for a better day to come
You can damn my soul
For not believing in your god
And some world down below
You don't stand a chance against my prayers
You don't stand a chance against my love
They outlawed the Ghost Dance
They outlawed the Ghost Dance
But we shall live again, we shall live again
She has red paint
She died at Wounded Knee
Like a later day saint
You got the big drum in the distance
The blackbird's in the sky
That's the sound that you hear
When the buffalo cry
You don't stand a chance against my prayers
You don't stand a chance against my love
They outlawed the Ghost Dance
They outlawed the Ghost Dance
But we shall live again, we shall live again
We shall live again
Crazy Horse was a mystic
He knew the secret of the trance
And Sitting Bull the great apostle
Of the Ghost Dance
Come on Comanche
Come on Blackfoot
Come on Shoshone
Come on Cheyenne
We shall live again
We shall live again
Come on Arapaho
Come on Cherokee
Come on Paiute
Come on Sioux
We shall live again
You used to do the Ghost Dance
You used to do the Ghost Dance
You don't sing them kinda songs no more

I love this song We will be here again again again beneath our autumn moon
Beautiful 💕
best lyrics - I'm not believin in your God & some world down below meaning (hell) you don't stand a chance against my prayers....
beautiful photographic archive with this music. wado.
buffaloi am white
Bullets would pass through Chief Crazy Horse because he knew the secret of the trance. The ability of being in two Dimensions simultaneously. .... like a Ghost. He shared this ability with other Nations when the coming of the Europeans was scene as inevitable and part of the Great Spirits plan. So we have returned just as we said we would. Our chief in this time goes by Berhane Selassie or his Earth name is Bob Marley. The Hopi prophecies will tell you this. Doing just as he has always done, liberating all who will listen from wickedness, oppression,and mental slavery. One God. One aim. One destiny
Thanks for the original.

You can kill my body
You can damn my soul

You don't stand a chance

You don't stand a chance

They outlawed the Ghost Dance
but we shall live again,
we shall live again
My sister above
She has red paint
She died at Wounded Knee
like a later day saint
You got the big drum in the distance
blackbird in the sky
That's the sound that you hear

You don't stand a chance
against my prayers
You don't stand a chance
against my love

Boo
Over
2019????anyone here?
Well done. Fitting and respectful tribute. Thank you for bringing them to us.
love the old ways, only wish i had Indian blood, but I can assure you my heart and soul is with you all,
Levi Saylor Better than being a "Red Apple." Red skinned, but selling out your own. Happens in all cultures. It's what is in your heart that counts. Sincerity is everything.
You don't need the blood in your veins, you are the Ghost Dance
"You don't stand a chance against my prayers. You don't stand a chance against my love."
Ewan McEwan Very deep meanings in those words. We all have this power if we determine to stay awake, aware and conscious in a society run by a misguided dark force- greed.... that is working 24/7 to dumb us. numb us, and divide us. 24/7 to stress us and cut us off from the Remembrance that we too are Power. You may already know who he is, but if not, find John Trudell, speeches, songs, and documentary of his life. Keeps me going when I feel alone in a time and place "where spirits get eaten," as Trudell admonishes us to "protect your spirit,"they are mining our energy.
We shall Live Again!
I love the ancestory

Support Native American Schools
Flower And Tiny Lakota houses... Go fund me.... hiring, teaching their own to build much needed housing. You can see it's the poorest who give what little they can. If a million people worldwide gave just one dollar....
what really gets me i hope people understand is i try to explain the native side to things yet i talk and its oh i have to go to bed or I'm to busy to talk... me I'm cree irish half native half irish and i stand with all natives I stand and understand about my ancestors hardships and try to fight for it. every time i speak up I'm shut down
shane, that is your test, your song, your reason for Being, so just Be, the river finally wears down the stone smooth
So beautiful and touching.
I was in high school when this came out. You don't stand a chance against my prayers against my love !!!
Still in disguise Taco.
Catherine i cheer you on. Peace😌
You will live again, you live on in our hearts and souls, true Human Beings. Earth and Water Protectors, Respect!
Those of us who don't "sing those songs no more" should begin doing so again.
marchky is my name given at birth and i have had a insight for Billy "Bird Song" Miller to lead us and again we will stand strong in mighty numbers, proud!
- Maple Raha
My elders told me that if a song is sung than you must remember it...because it'll be only passes once..who'll pass the teachings
We will outlast them. Those who are close to the earth.
This album is one of my favorite albums.

my mother used to play his CD when she cleaned so not only are the songs etched in my childhood, they also hold true healing in them. just a good listen makes me feel refreshed.
Should "Geronimo" be changed to "Goyathlay" ...?
thank you ... 1/8 tribal ... I wish I knew more... they sing to me
Wovoka was a great prophet--Spirit Dancing is old in the Great Basin and the Columbia River region. Wovoka gave the people hope. And now we do have some buffalo and return of wolves and growing tribal people. Although many Whites still want to exterminat wolves and buffalo and all sacred life. But they do not stand a chance against our prayers. We shall live again. Evil will be ended.
Wovoka was a charlatan and a practicer of Christianity..
Catherine Feher Right on ! I say we reincarnated in this life in all colors and genders ! Shape shifters ! If you will ! Soul song by Robbie !
Catherine Feher thank you for sharing love !
Les Pewo, do you know that, certainly and absolutely?
I know that Ghost Dancers of the Second Ghost Dance Movement, led by Wovoka, did have an influence of knowledge given by Christianity, but they never worshiped Wanekia, Savior. So it was not Christianity, they believed in Yahweh, or Tankashelah, or Taiowa, or whatever name the people gave to the same deity.
You see, Christians did not know that the first followers of "Jesus" or Yahushua, did not worship him, this was considered Idolatry. The Ebiunai and Nazerai of Yahudah, followed the directions, and laws they were given by Yahuah, or Yahweh, and considered Yahushua a Nabi, or Prophet, Nabi Emet, a true prophet, Raphah, a healer. He was simply a man to them, they did honor him, as we do with our medicine men, and they served the "great spirit" that wonderful mystery, Ruwahh Gaduwalah.
The Ghost Dance was simply an un-idolicized, and culturally appropriate celebration, and petition to be saved by Wakan Tanka, that he would send the great prophet to deliver them, and that the ancestors be brought to New earth, away from Wasichu persecution. This is truly amazing, when you learn, we as all nations, in america, are related to the people of the middle east, closely. I will say no more...
@Vast land Traverse we a come from the Sam god
Beautiful song....)
original native Americans
I've always loved this project with the Red Road Ensemble that Robertson took on. This is a masterpiece and even after 10 years this anthem still gives me chills. I mean, how many songs sing about history like this. Thanks for compiling this video montage.
Thank you 😊
WAVOKA was nothing but trouble. My apologies if I spelled his name incorrectly. He was a self-proclaimed mystic. But all he did was mix Christianity was certain themes from native spiritualities. He introduced the ghost dance but he also is in a sense responsible for what happened at Wounded Knee. He misled his people with lies and he did so knowingly.
Bullshit. It's not his fault white people are so damn jumpy they see every action by POC as 'being uppity' and feel a need to murder them, lest they lose their place at the fucking top of the food chain.
read wavokas predictions. the were very heavily based on chridrisnitt. hebwas raisesnbybwhute osrebts as a Christian. his religion was silly but the Sioux were so desperate they took right 5onhis new religion
@L2TheFace Bars
Bullshit. Ghost dance spread from one nation to the other, just that the Oceti Sakowin (Lakota/Dakota/Nakoda nations) were punished for it, after killing Custer.
In my opinion, the lying deceitful, so-called 'Christians' should be evicted from the reservations. Nothing but parasites on all Indigenous peoples globally. There are 16 denominations on one reservation alone. Nobody invited them. I know some people who mix even the sacred Sundance with Christianity and they are bat shit crazy confused. It's a European imported all kinds of sickness and division. "Church and state together, hand in hand.," as John Trudell so aptly stated it.
Lt. Frank Drebin I'm going to revisit this Wavoka business. Hard to get the facts, since we weren't there, but these people were under an unfathomable stress. The psychological assault alone, throw in starvation, rape, it goes on and on. I'd Have told Wavoka to avoid them like the plague they are, and continue to be, a bunch of perverted sadistic NWO Nazis in disguise. Hiding behind their bibles.
You don't stand a chance against my truth and convictions !!!....you know who you are !
Holly Fawn lmao. You know that's right Holy !
A moving look at a higher form of humanity
Ron Farren What a different outcome had the "playing,," actually killing fields, had been leveled. Crazy Horse and Sitting Bull alone -- mind blowing. Not to mention, the fallen unknown among them who laid down their lives to protect what they loved... Wanna know about spirit of Crazy Horse and these great ones in the form of a woman in modern times? Ana Mae Aquash. Wounded Knee siege of 1973. Ultimately betrayed and murdered. Her daughters have much to say.
Do you know how many natives were brutally murdered by other natives for long before the Europeans came? I'm of native ancestry, but don't be so foolish to romanticize the cultures and peoples of the past. I for one am glad the whites brought civilization to the Americas.
Beautiful! Thank You for the post and vid.
