lyrics

[Verse 1]

I came into this place
with a heart of gold.
Eyes wide shut, yeah,
stories un-told.
The drum beat steady
as we danced along the earth.
Hearts at the ready,
what’s it really worth, now?
Good morning relatives,
remember why you’re here.
Remember where you came from,
do not live in fear.
This ain’t no vacation,
we are a sovereign nation.
Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ,
We are all related.

And…

[Chorus]

We pledge our allegiance
to the land,
underneath our feet
right where we stand.

Civil disobedience
is all that we have.
Take back the power
and we’ll take… we’ll take down the man.


[Verse 2]

The alchemist at work,
that gold began to soften,
speaking through the truths
of teachings not forgotten.
Here we stand,
for the water and the land.
Here we stand
four colors hand in hand
with the buffalo on the hills
and smoke from the chimney tops
eagles in the sky,
no better day to die.
Oh I know she reads the letters,
I know they don’t get lost
as we break down the fetters,
no matter what the cost.

[Bridge]

Thunder in the snowfall-laden sky
don’t ask me why
Spirit guides,
and humans lie.

Greed and pride,
we despise, yet compromise,
these rising tides
Will soon take many, many, many lives.

And so…

[Chorus]

We pledge our allegiance
to the land,
underneath our feet
right where we stand.

Civil disobedience
is all that we have.
take back the power
and we’ll take down the man.


Oceti. Oceti. Oceti.

Mitákuye Oyás’iŋ, we are all related.
We are all related here.
