lyrics

[Verse 1]

It’s been building for a while now,
growing for some time.
It was planted in the seeds of resistance,
over time.

It was picked on the plantations,
forged in hearths of fire,
it was stitched in burning buildings,
and crossed in picket lines.

It was broken with the treaties,
and stolen with the land…
It was carved into the Sacred sites,
and flowed with the oil in the pipes.

It was hammered into railway ties,
no Irish need apply…
It was blown up with the mountain tops
and coughed up with the Black lungs of the mines.

[Chorus]

Mother Moon, will you help me write a tune?
A tune to turn the tide, to help the people rise.

Mother Moon, will you help me write a tune?
A tune to turn the tide, to help the people rise.

[Verse 2]

From the West Coast to the East,
yeah, the people with unite,
black, brown, red, yellow and white
standing side by side.

Cuz’ it’s a battle for the land,
it’s a battle for our rights,
it’s a battle for our freedom
and the future of our children’s children.

And the playing field ain’t even,
the stars may not align,
we may not have their weapons
but we have our hearts and minds.

So on we fight for Mother Earth,
on we fight for Father Sky.
We’ll keep fighting for the Sacred
’til the day we die.

[Chorus]

Mother Moon, will you help me write a tune?
A tune to turn the tide, to help the people rise.

Mother Moon, will you help me write a tune?
A tune to turn the tide, to help the people rise.
