Big bluestem, I got a question
What’s it look like from up there you grow so tall?
Big bluestem, I’m just asking
Since you have the bigger view and you can see it all
When the earth is back in balance and the water’s clean
And everywhere there’s blue sky shining through
Oh when hate is overthrown and no one feels alone
Tell me what did I do, what did I do?
Big bluestem, I got a longing
For the world to come together singing one big song
Big bluestem, can you tell me
How to do right when my right is someone else’s wrong?
When the earth is back in balance and the water’s clean
And everywhere there’s blue sky shining through
Oh when hate is overthrown and no one feels alone
Tell me what did I do, what did I do,
What did I do?
What did I do?
What did I do?
What did I do?
Big bluestem, I got a fear that
Nothing I do will ever make a change
Big bluestem, can you help me
Find the courage that it takes to dream for better days?
When the earth is back in balance and the water’s clean
And everywhere there’s blue sky shining through
Oh when hate is overthrown and no one feels alone
Tell me what did I do, what did I do,
What did I do?
