Lyrics

12,000 years ago, In the alpenglow
A bristlecone stand, It was no man’s land
It was no man’s land.

There were buffalo, And the river flowed
Winding through the sand, It was no man’s land
It was no man’s land.

A hot wind blew, And the cottonwood flew
And the flames were fanned
It was no man’s land

A life the hunters made, 10,000 years they stayed
They formed a band, And it was no man’s land
It was no man’s land.

I honor the ancestors, As sure as the osprey soars
They are the rocks and trees, their spirit lives in the breeze

The grass is new, In the morning dew
Do you understand?
This is no man’s land

There will be buffalo, and the river will flow
Winding through the sand,

12,000 years from now, upon a sacred vow
Beneath a bristlecone stand, This is no man’s land
This is no man’s land x2
