From the recording In My Room
Lyrics
Listen to the drum
Soon a change will come
Calling all the Souls across the earth
We are all one tribe
No barricades divide
Can you feel One Nation rising
I'll be by your side
We are strong
We’ll carry on
Too long our eyes have cried
We’ll stand our ground
We won't back down tonight
Something’s breaking free
Learn from Wounded Knee
So we will see the children thrive on the earth
Open hearts and hands
Protect our sacred lands
Can you see the people standing
I'll be by your side
We are strong
We’ll carry on
Too long our eyes have cried
We’ll stand our ground
We won't back down tonight
Great Spirit give us courage
When will we wake to see our planet flourish
Nations cities tribes
All our rights denied
While protecting water for the earth
Still so hypnotized
When will you realize
That life cannot go on without it
I'll be by your side
We are strong
We we’ll carry on
Too long our eyes have cried
We’ll stand our ground
We won't back down
Cause Spirit’s on our side
Standing strong
We’ll take them on
With our hearts open wide
Kneeling down on holy ground
I will be by your side
We are strong
We’ll carry on
Too long our eyes have cried
We’ll stand our ground
We won’t back down tonight
