the lenni-lenape - charles j. adams iii lyrics

[verse 1]
take a walk along the allegheny
a stroll by the monaca sea
listen to those words and you will know
their eternal legacy
wander into wyomissing
gaze upon a sacred tree
you can almost see the spirits of
the lenni lenape

[verse 2]
for many centuries before us
they lived in harmony
with forests, fields, streams and trees
in sweet tranquility
they left behind their tales and legends
they live now in our memories
we tread the trails they blazed for us
these lenni lenape

[chorus]
they’re with us still
in places where we live and play
throughout our hills
they echo to this very day
[verse 3]
conrad weiser and chief shikellamy
are names we now recall
they talked of peace and understanding
for the benefit of all
but along came pioneers and progress
and the lenni lenape were doomed
they fled beyond the new frontier
as their homeland was consumed
they speak to us from distant ages
at times so very long ago
and now upon our history pages
their stories and traditions grow

[verse 4]
the way they lived their lives is mired
in myth and mystery
we’ll never really know these natives called
the lenni lenape

[chorus]
but they’re with us still
in places where we live and play
throughout our hills
they echo to this very day
