If I, if I were an eagle
I would carry you on my back
Across the ocean
And if I, if I were hardwood
I would knock three times, for superstition

Bury my heart at wounded knee
That is all I am asking
Bury my heart, yeah I know hard
Yeah well baby, that is all I am asking, yeah

If I, if I were king of the forest
I would spend my life protecting you
And if, if I were the tin man yeah
I would shed a tear so you could have water
And if I am smart, smart as scarecrow
I would create a world for you to live in perfect harmony

Bury my heart at wounded knee
That is all I am asking
Bury my heart, yeah I know hard
Yah well baby, that is all I am asking
Bury my heart at yeah, wounded knee
Said babe, that is all, that is all, that is all I am asking, yeah

If I, if I were a father
I would teach you yeah, all that I know
But if I reach the stars
Yeah but if I run away
I'll take you wherever we are
And there we will forever stay

Yeah, if I reach the stars
Yeah but if I run away
I'll take you where we are
And there we will forever stay

If I reach the stars
And If I run away
I'll take you wherever we are
And there we will forever stay

If I reach the stars
If I run away
I'll take you where we are
