Geronimo

I have given up the warpath. I have laid down my arms. I want to live in peace.

It is better to die in freedom than to live in chains.

The white man has a crooked tongue.

I have seen the white man's cities. They are like anthills. Many people, but no freedom.

I am an old man now. I have seen many things. I have learned many things. But I am still an Apache.

The white man came with a book and a gun, and he took our land.

My heart is good. I have never lied to my people. I have never betrayed them.

I have fought for my country. I have fought for my people. I have fought for my freedom.

The white man has many laws. But he does not obey them.

I have prayed to the Great Spirit. I have asked for guidance. I have asked for strength.

The white man is like a coyote. He is cunning. He is sneaky. He is a thief.

I am not afraid to die. I am afraid to live in chains.

The white man has taken everything from us. But he cannot take our spirit.

My home is where the sun shines. My home is where the wind blows. My home is where the mountains stand tall.

I have seen the face of the enemy. It is the face of fear.

The white man speaks of peace. But he makes war.

I would rather die than surrender.

We are a vanishing race, but we will not be forgotten.

My heart is on the warpath. My spirit is on the warpath. My people are on the warpath.

The white man has many gods. We have one Great Spirit.
