[Verse 1]
In Monument EmValley we Amride
Myself and my EmNavajo AmguideG  
I'm Fmoved by the majesty that E7lives here in this place
His native Amhome, the dry Emdesert of his Amrace
[Verse]
I don't know these Emmesas or these Amlands
Like the fields my mother Emploughed beside her AmdadG  
And I Fhold every story that her E7father told to me
As Amdear as Emmyths of the AnaAmsazi
[Verse]
We ride on and Emsing our peoples' Amsongs
From roots that run as Emdeep as they do AmlongG  
And alFthough I was born here and E7raised in this nation
The blood is Amstrong in the Emfirst geneBration
[Instrumental]

[Verse]
My Amgrandmother Emswept a dirt Amfloor
As the Navajo Emdid here beAmfore
KayFenta and Kerry may be E7wide water apart
But we're aAmlike in the Emdeep core of the Amheart
[Verse]
I've seen the sun Emset at The Sun's AmEye
Left an echo in The EmHogan nearAmby
A Fsong of my people that my E7mother gave to me
In my tribe Ammusic is Emblood memoAmry
AmMusic is Emblood memoFry
