| What are the open plans but land to roam and cultivate
|
| Reciprocate trade and share
|
| To give and to take
|
| To respect the Indian way?
|
| I will no longer cry
|
| For what has passed is gone
|
| Like a memory that floats in the air
|
| The song of an eagle feather
|
| Climbing in the wind
|
| On a hot summer day
|
| On a hot summer day
|
| I’ve seen eyes they were crying sadly
|
| Fists ready for the blow
|
| Seen turbulent skies above me
|
| Butterflies in the snow
|
| Saw a war in a mask and a costume
|
| In a jungle of leaders to blame
|
| Seen power in the hands of the wrong men
|
| Will it always be just the same?
|
| Seen boys cross illegal borders
|
| Risk a life to wash a dish
|
| Seen money disguised as the answer
|
| Is that your only wish?
|
| Saw a mother’s smile so hopeful
|
| Seen a man who treasures life
|
| As a woman now able to choose
|
| From a strength that I need to survive
|
| Truth, nothing but the truth
|
| Watch you coming today, watch you coming today
|
| The things you say when you give and you take when you take
|
| And you take and you take
|
| The truth, nothing but the truth
|
| In the name of nature
|
| The choices we make
|
| Is it only me is it only you
|
| Are we only living for today?
|
| Maybe today will be my day
|
| Before it’s over
|
| I’ll make a change
|
| Maybe today will be my day
|
| Before it’s over
|
| I’ll have my say
|
| Nanana…
|
| May the walls on the road be witnesses of the needs of your ticking heart
|
| The words that you love be spoken
|
| At your table and when you part
|
| May your long line of family members be proud of who you’ve become
|
| May your hands and your soul remind you every day that you are around
|
| May the house that is always clean
|
| Be the home to the ones in need
|
| May the dirt on the soles of your boots make a track of the good will you leave
|
| May the words that were used to divide float away far away out of sight
|
| And the mountain we still must climb be the one we will climb to unite
|
| Truth, nothing but the truth
|
| Watch you coming today, watch you coming today
|
| The things you say when you give and you take when you take
|
| And you take and you take
|
| The truth, nothing but the truth
|
| In the name of nature
|
| The choices we make
|
| Is it only me, is it only you
|
| Are we only living for today?
|
| Maybe today will be my day
|
| Before it’s over
|
| I’ll make a change
|
| Maybe today will be my day
|
| Before it’s over
|
| I’ll have my say
|
| Nanana… |
