Ritchi Maguire - Just A Game Lyrics

I remember years ago
There was only hope to heed the hunger
Dreams across a foreign land
Where we might stand to claim our names
But time moved slowly and the hunger grew
And we were told that's as good as it gets
This is as good as it gets

I remember a crying shame
Split my name in two
Almighty spirit high above
Send your love to me
For I can't feel the rise and fall of my chest
No I can't feel the rise and fall of my chest

How long can we hold
These words we never spoke
Our people still hold a shame
From your ill tempered gotten gains
To you it's just a game

I remember as a child
Losing my smile to rage
A soldiers steel so cold and real
Met soundly with a face
Those Tommy's in green
Know not what they've seen
All victim to a master
That's pillaged and raged
Left none to escape
From Choctaw to the black man

How long can we hold
These words we never spoke
Our people still hold a shame
From your ill tempered gotten gains
To you it's just a game

How Long
How Long
How Long
How Long
How Long
How Long
How Long
How Long
How Long
How Long
How Long
How Long
To you It's just a game
