Cowboys And Indians
by: Pat MonahanCowboys and Indians, heteros and gays
Blacks and whites and all of their ways
Their all dancing underneath the moon
Lawyers and army men, the left and the right
The preachers and communists, oh, what a sight
We're all coming home or will be soon
Well, I'd like to thank you all
I'd like to make you all lunch
By a river I know
I'd like to take your hands
I'd like to give you some peace
Oh, I know I like to show you
A little bit of happiness, right now
Convicts and movie stars, prostitutes and priests
Losers and winners, let us look to the east
Thanking the sun for another beautiful day
Well, I'd like to thank you all
I'd like to make you all flow
Like a river I know
I'd like to take your hands
I'd like to give you some peace
Oh, I know I like to show you
A little bit of happiness, right now
Shaman and children, the living and ghosts
What we need is each other the most
