(All) Here is the story of an Indian trying to find hope
Going to Reardan this is how he coped

(Alye and Noah)At the beginning they called him a traitor
The tune they sang: (Alye) "You're an Indian hater!"

(Rina)They called him an apple
With lots of sneers and jeers
With his feelings he grappled
They think he's white he fears

(Noah)Hope for me is like a mythical creature
This is not true, there are other features
I used to think that hope was all white, white, white
People try to tell me (Alye) "That ain't right"

(Alye)Junior threw a book at Mr. P
He got suspended
Despair was all he could see.

(Rina) He could not see a future
for him on the rez
(Noah)"I just have to get out"
(Rina) Junior desperately says

(Noah) Furthermore I gave it my all
Everybody thought I was going to fall
(Noah and Alye) The fight was hard Junior almost failed
But the deaths in his family helped him provail


(All) Getting out of Wellpinit
Junior found hope
 

Without that he wouldn't
Have been able to cope
 

 

(Alye) Some things Junior

Did were really rare,
He should've known hope

Had to do with care
