Lyrics The Rosebuds

The Rosebuds

Outnumbered

We might be outnumbered

I fear they will attack

I know we won't surrender

And we can't hold them back

We wore down our last welcome

Tied our own hands and feet

But the ghosts out there outnumber

Me and you and you and me

There's a coldness on our shoulders

Though the moon's as red as fire

They came to claim our homes now

And that's why we take flight

But we'll protect our families

And force them out to sea

I hope the ghosts out there remember

The Indian in me believes

We might be outnumbered

But just you wait and see

I follow the shoreline with my family

We lied about our guilt now

But not our misery

What we've gone and done here

I hope our kids don't see

We might be outnumbered

I fear they will attack

I know we won't surrender

And we can't hold them back
