Native Son

Bryan Adams

Intro: Verse 1: I’ve seen many moons through these wrinkled eyes The years have made me old but they made me wise Now the white man lives where our rivers run For now better days have passed We walk the streets of broken glass Our people vanished as snow before the summer sun Bridge 1 : Like dogs we were driven from this place Such injustice time will not erase All these changes cannot be undone Verse 2:(same as before) When you feel the anger inside of you Hold your head high let your aim be true Though your heart beats like a drum My native son Verse 3: Once there was a time my little one Before the wagons - before the soldiers’ guns When this land was ours as far as the eagle flies No white flag - no broken truce With few words one can speak the truth; I don’t hear it time won’t heal it now Bridge 2:(same as Brige 1) With each new day that comes to pass Will the great spirit free us all at last? He said we were the chosen ones For all we had there’s nothing left We won’t forgive - we can’t forget You know that your day will come My native son Solo:(same chords as verse...still looking for the tabs...work in progress) BRIDGE 3 : With each new day that comes to pass Will the great spirit free us all at last? What has happened can never been undone When I was young - not yet a man The sun rose and set upon our land We were the chosen ones My native son

La chanson évoque les souvenirs d'un passé révolu, où l'identité et la culture d'un peuple autochtone ont été profondément affectées par l'arrivée des colonisateurs. L'artiste cite les injustices subies et la perte de ce qui était autrefois sacré, exprimant à la fois une douleur et une sagesse acquise au fil du temps. Le protagoniste encourage son fils à garder la tête haute malgré la colère et la tristesse qui l'habitent, tout en rappelant les temps où la terre leur appartenait avant l'invasion. Il souligne l'importance de ne pas oublier ces cicatrices du passé et d'espérer un jour une réconciliation avec le grand esprit. Dans un contexte plus large, cette chanson fait référence aux luttes des peuples autochtones face aux injustices historiques et à l’effacement culturel, reflétant un appel à la mémoire collective et à la guérison.
