We are warriors! Feel our might!
We who are loyal to our brother and won’t give up the fight.
We are fearless, brave and true. We will follow you!

From the grassland of Dakota to every road and street we’ll rise and do
What ever’s needed to carry this load,
To walk this path, this good red road. For… (cho.)
