Sing Our Own Song

The great flood of tears that we've cried

For our brothers and sisters who've died

Over five hundred years has washed away our fears

And strengthened our pride, now we turn back the tide

We will no longer hear your command

We will slide your control from our lands

Re-direct the flame of our anger and pain

And pity the shame

For what you do in God's name

We will stand for the right to be free

We will grow our own society

And we will sing, we will sing

We will sing our own song

When the ancient drum rhythms ring

The voice of our forefathers sings

The will to live will beat on, we will no longer be pawns

To greed and to war

We will be idle no more

We will stand for the right to be free

We will build our own society

And we will sing, we will sing

We will sing our own song

When the ancient drum rhythms ring

The voice of our grandmothers sings

Native America run, we will no longer succumb

To oil and ore, we will be idle no more

We will stand for the right to be free

We will build our own society

And we will sing, we will sing

We will sing our own song

We will teach about the right to be free

We will build our own society

And we will sing, we will sing

We will sing our own song

Dance dance for the right to be free

We will build our own society

And we will sing, we will sing

We will sing our own song

And occupy for the right to be free

We will rebuild a just society

And we will sing, we will sing

We will sing our own song
