Product Description

The river flows through me, like the blood of my people. Above the river I will stand.

High above the banks of the Rock River in Oregon, Illinois, stands an impressive 48-foot-tall statue created by famed artist Lorado Taft. The official name is The Eternal Indian, but it is known to local folk as Black Hawk. It stands proud and strong as a tribute to the Native Tribes who flourished in the area before settlers occupied the region.

This original song by John Meola Lindhorst pays homage to those tribes. The story is told through three poignant verses, written from the statues perspective. The opening lines: I have stood for many years, as a constant reminder, of the strength of my tribe. I have shed a thousand tears, for the loss of a nation, and the killing of our pride: introduces the theme and sets the tone for your impactful vocal performance. The second verse tells the heart of the story. The final verse: I will stand her forever and Ill stand proud and strong, I will fly with the eagle, and I will soar beyond the stars. closes the song with a feeling of hope.

The powerful chorus drives home the emotional message. Your audience will be deeply moved by your performance of this song.

This song is suitable for singers of any genre. It can be interpreted as Pop, Broadway Ballad, Country or Folk.
