I don’t know where to stand, up on the mountain or down in the sand

Cause I like being way up high, said I like being up but I don’t know why

But up here I can see the walls built by man to divide us all

They’ve been making war and deny us peace

They took away the land and then they brought disease

Those white men who’ve got the key to black mans identity

And those lands they were s’possed to be forever

They got no heart, they got no right

And if you decide to fight, please know that we can fight together!

We’ll be the water, water, water

We’ll be the water for their fire ( water for their fire)

We’ll be the water, water, water

We’ll be the water for their fire ( water for their fire)

They have the tendency to put in their pockets everything they see

They‘ve been taking lands all across the globe

And writing down their name on every rock and stone

But it ain't no mystery, they’re keeping the children from their ancestry

They lock them out of their sacred ground

Well, one day I’m gonna see them pull those fences down

Those white men who’ve got the key to black mans identity

And those lands, they were s’possed to be forever!

They got no heart, they got no right

And if you decide to fight, please know that we can fight together!

We’ll be the water, water, water

We’ll be the water for their fire ( water for their fire)

We’ll be the water, water, water

We’ll be the water for their fire ( water for their fire)

Now, our history is a shame to me but I still got faith in humanity

Can we swap back all the wrongs for rights

And let the people walk free every day and night, cause

Each nation has their own piece of earth that they call their home

It’s a point of reference to identify

So if you don’t know where you come from, you know why. (It’s those)

Those white men who’ve got the key to black mans identity

And those lands, they were s’possed to be forever!

They got no heart, they got no right

And if you decide to fight, please know that we can fight together!

We’ll be the water, water, water

We’ll be the water for their fire ( water for their fire)

We’ll be the water, water, water

We’ll be the water for their fire ( water for their fire)
