Swan lee got up at the running foot pow-wow,
Heading from the fire to his waiting canoe
Chattering squaw untied the wigwam door,
The chief blew smoke rings two by two!

The land in silence stands

Swan lee, his boat by the bank in the darkness,
Loosened the rope in the creek is entwined
A feather from the wing of a wild young eagle,
Pointed to the land where his fortune he?d find

The land in silence stands

Swan lee paddled on from the land of his fathers,
His eyes scanned the undergrowth on either side
From the shore hung a hot, heavy, creature infested
Tropic, swan lee had a bow by his side

The land in silence stands

Swan lee kept time, half on land, half on water,
Grizzly bear and raccoon his fare
He followed his ears to the great water fall,
Swan lee knew deep down that his squaw was there!

The land in silence stands

Suddenly the rush of the mighty great thunder,
Confronted swan lee as his song he sang,
In the dawn, with his squaw, he was battling homewards
It was all written down by long silas lang

The land in silence stands
The land in silence stands
The land in silence stands
