Temprano Yo Te Buscare



LYRICS


Temprano yo te buscare
de madrugada yo me acercare a ti
mi alma te ahnela y tiene sed
para ver tu gloria y tu poder

Mi socorro has sido tu
y en la sombra de tus alas
yo te buscare
mi alma esta apegada a ti
porque tu diestra me ha sostenido
oh tu diestra me ha sostenido

"Chief Two Eagles"

Where We Went Wrong

The old Sioux chief sat in his reservation hut, smoking the ceremonial pipe, eyeing the two US government officials sent to interview him.
"Chief Two Eagles," one official began, "you have observed the white man for many generations, you have seen his wars and his products, you have seen all his progress, and all his problems."
The chief nodded. The official continued, "Considering recent events in New York, in your opinion, where has the white man gone wrong?"
The chief stared at the government officials and continued smoking his pipe for over a minute, and then calmly replied: "When white man found this land, Indians were running it. No taxes. No debt. No house payments. No Daycare. Plenty buffalo. Women did all the cooking. Medicine man free. Indian men hunted and fished all the time."

The chief smiled, and added quietly, "White man dumb enough to think he could improve a system like that."
