There were people here
Not so different from you and me
They loved their families
There were people here
And they walked these hills
Feeling the same sun in the afternoon
Marking their days by the light of the moon
There were people here
And we call them missions
The names given by the ones who came
But the ones who built them
We don't even know their names
And they built their homes
On the same land where I live today
So many died, so many ghosts that stay
Of those people here
There still are people here
Seems that there are debts that we could try to pay
Still we mostly look the other way
From these people here
The Californios
They took the land and took the water
Captain Fremont led the slaughter
We don't talk of that today
There were people here
Not so different from you and me
They loved their families
There were people here
There were people here
There were people here
