Şarkı sözleri
Indigenous people
Shine your light, we are equal
I remember the days when our prayers were illegal
I remember the days when being Indian was lethal
Yeah, we had a rough past, but get ready for the sequel
Get ready for the glorious comeback of our people, oh yeah
Rise up, all you warriors of love
All your answers to the prayers of our ancestors from above
I can feel it in my heart, can you feel it in your blood?
I can hear the sound of fire calling us to wake up, wake up
All nations rise, rise up 'cause now's your time
We don't have to hide anymore 'cause now's the time
All nations rise, rise up 'cause now's the time
We don't have to hide anymore 'cause now's the time
With forgiveness as my bow and my prayers as my arrow
Pull them back and let go
I watch them fly like sparrows, have hope yeah have hope
With compaction as my shield
And faith down to my marrow
I will walk the fallen path even when it gets narrow
Yeah, yeah ah, resurrect
Yes you can bet, that we've seen the single mama
Raising children on the red
We've seen domestic violence tear the power we have let
We've seen the alcohol, take it all and leave us dead
We've seen the children take their life
When they can't take the dread anymore (it's a war)
Can't take the dread anymore (it's a war)
No, we can't take the dread anymore (it's a war)
No, we can't take the dread anymore (it's a war, yeah)
It's a war, but we've seen it all before
And now we know we can change it 'cause that's why we were born
We know we are the ones that we have been waiting for
We are the ones grandma has been praying for
So rise up, all you warriors of love
All your answers to the prayers of our ancestors from above
I can feel it in my heart, can you feel it in your blood?
I can hear the sound of fire calling us to wake up, wake up
Pueblo hermoso, levántense, es nuestro tiempo
No tienes que esconderte más
Ahora es nuestro tiempo
Mujer indígena, tú eres tan sagrada
Traigas medicina de tu suelo todavía
A pesar del abuso de tu cuerpo y tu tierra
Respetamos tus ancestros y la suya cultura
Hombre indígena, tú eres honorable
Y yo veo la fuerza que todavía sobrevive
A pesar del abuso de tu raza venerable
Yo respeto tus ritos, tus danzas, tus padres
Somos guerreros del amor y guerreros de la paz, sí
No vamos a escondernos más
Somos guerreros del amor y guerreros de la paz, sí
No vamos a escondernos más
(All nation rise)
They say that history is written by the victors (rise up for now's your time)
But how can there be a victor when the war isn't over? (We don't have to hide)
The battle has only just begun (anymore for now's your time)
And creator is sending his very best warriors (for now's your time)
And this time, it isn't Indians versus the cowboys (all nations rise)
No, this time, it is all the beautiful races of humanity (rise up for now's your time)
Together on the same side (we don't have to, have to hide)
And we are fighting to replace our fear with love (anymore 'cause now's your time)
And this time, bullets, arrows, and cannonballs won't save us
The only weapons that are useful in this battle
Are the weapons of truth, faith, and compassion
