Written after the Native American occupation of Alctraz in 1969, this track offers an elegaic view of the island of Alcatraz – not as the prison most commonly known, but as the first promise of the return of lands to the people that had once lived there.
[Chorus]
Alcatraz, Alcatraz, Alcatraz, Alcatraz
Few have seen your beauty like the Indian has
Few have seen your beauty like the Indian has
[Verse 1]
Where many have spent their dying days
The Indian brings his peaceful ways
Because he cares, because he cares
[Chorus]
Alcatraz, Alcatraz, Alcatraz, Alcatraz
Few have seen your beauty like the Indian has
Few have seen your beauty like the Indian has
[Verse 2]
To many, you've been a nightmare
To the Indian, a dream come true
Because he cares, because he cares
[Chorus/Outro]
Alcatraz, Alcatraz, Alcatraz, Alcatraz
Few have seen your beauty like the Indian has
Few have seen your beauty like the Indian has
