Verse 2 Now are the days you'll commend and respect us Gone are the days you apprehend and offend us Pretend to us you're a friend but forget trust We all know the scheme that you hide in your agendas We all see thru the deceit and the lies A smile in disguise but your eyes can't hide it But now is the time that we'll speak and we'll rise All you want is our demise but we can't stay silent Through our chiefs and our elders we are guided Divided we fall but together stand united For our earth and our water we will fight it Our mother earth is crying and now you cant deny it We are not the enemy that we're said to be We're thinking of the generation that's ahead of me So we'll continue to take the earth back for all of us White Black or Brown well together we should stand up!
