ย
Chief Joseph's last dream before he passed away
On the God-forsaken Oklahoma day
ย
He saw a purple sunrise through the mountain mist
He felt his first wife give him a perfect holy kiss
Her face was shining brilliant in a sky of blue
And her smile told him he had no more to lose
ย
Chief Joseph's last dream then continued on
He saw a stillborn baby beside a mountain pond
He saw a young brave racing up the mountainside
They voted him their leader the day his daddy died
ย
Chief Joseph's last dream then turned into the times
When gentleness could overcome the anger in his mind
Of giant herds of ponies with mountains to the east
That were still unscarred by the white devouring beast
Beyond the dream a woman said, "Come here quick, he's dying!
His soul has left this awful place, to the mountains flying"
ย
Chief Joseph's last dream as he passed away
He saw a hundred thousand faces rising up to pray
They crossed over the mountains, shimmering and white
They passed right through the setting sun into the orange light
