lyrics

LYRICS
(Written by Selan Lerner for Soul-On Music/ASCAP)

Verse 1
Promises
Have been broken and neglected

Our message
Is that water is life, water is life

Peace to you
And to all water protectors

Our message
Is that water is life, water is life

Chorus 1
Here we are
Standing up with nothing left to lose
Here we are, we are one
(Repeat 1x)

‘Cause water is life

Verse 2 (same as Verse 1)

Chorus 2 (same as Chorus 1)

Water is life

Spoken word
The love of possession is a disease with them
While the life my people want is a life of freedom
You come here to tell us lies, but we don’t want to hear them for if we die……we must die defending our rights

As individual fingers we can easily be broken, but all together we make one, strong, mighty fist
The warrior, for us, is one who sacrifices himself for the good of others

We must protect our land

WATER IS LIFE.

Chorus 3
Here we are
Standing up with nothing left to lose
Here we are, we are one

(Repeat 3x)
