Lyrics

CHORUS
What I want to see is my people rise!
What I want to see is my people elevate high!
From the North to the South — we breaking the lies,
Five hundred nations with fire in their eyes.
What I want to see is my people rise!
What I want to see is my people elevate high!
We ain’t forgotten — we’re the children of the sky,
It’s Indigenous power — watch us multiply!
VERSE 1
They tried to bury our names, but we carved ’em in stone,
We the blood of the mountains, the voice of the bone.
From the pueblos, the jungles, the ice, and the coast,
We the first ones here — and we still stand close.
Burned our temples, but couldn’t kill the flame,
Changed our languages, but couldn’t change the name.
Alkimizta on the beat — I resurrect the sound,
Millions of ancestors marching through the ground.
Rise like Tenochtitlan breaking through the lake,
Like Mapuche warriors no empire could break.
This is continental — we awaken as one,
Under one drumbeat, under one red sun.
CHORUS
What I want to see is my people rise!
What I want to see is my people elevate high!
From the North to the South — we breaking the lies,
Five hundred nations with fire in their eyes.
What I want to see is my people rise!
What I want to see is my people elevate high!
We ain’t forgotten — we’re the children of the sky,
It’s Indigenous power — watch us multiply!
VERSE 2
We survivors of genocide, still breathing, still here,
Turn trauma into thunder — let the whole world hear.
Every border they drew was a weapon, a chain,
But the land knows the truth — we were never contained.
This is for the Yaqui, the Maya, the Cree,
Apache, Navajo, Lakota, and Paiute free.
For the Quechua, the Inca, the warriors of dawn,
For the tribes they said vanished — but we still march on.
We reclaim what is ours — the land and the mind,
The stories that were stolen, the futures left behind.
We rising like the eagle when the sky turns red,
We lifting up our people with every word said.
CHORUS
What I want to see is my people rise!
What I want to see is my people elevate high!
From the North to the South — we breaking the lies,
Five hundred nations with fire in their eyes.
What I want to see is my people rise!
What I want to see is my people elevate high!
We ain’t forgotten — we’re the children of the sky,
It’s Indigenous power — watch us multiply!
Rise up — reclaim it!
Rise up — remap it!
Rise up — we shape it!
Our land, our blood, our magic!
We the drums, we the sun, we the earth’s own cry —
And nothing on this planet gonna stop our rise.
