This area of fertile soil and abundant wildlife was long occupied by varying tribes of Native Americans. European explorers began to trade with them but settlers did not come in force until the late 18th century.
I'll try one more time
One more time
To know you
I’ll try one more time
One more time
To understand
The values you lost
And we kept
What we learned
While you slept
Makes a difference between you and me
It is scary
And makes me wonder one more time
One more time
It?s taking you and me
And everyone to somewhere
Where all conciousness is gone
You walk with your head down
See only the tip of your shoes
And the ground and dirt you walk on
Who taught you to despice
And tell lies you never knew weren't true
Tell each other lies
All lies
The stream you follow to make you strong
It?s taking you and me
And everyone
To somewhere
Where all conciousness is gone
You walk with your head down
See only the tip of your shoes
And the ground and dirt you walk on
I’ll try one more time
One more time
To understand
One more time
