A song written about the Native Americans fighting to stop the DAPL oil pipeline.

lyrics

It’s time for everyone to wake. Gonna do whatever it’s gonna take.
Standing strong on sacred, with hope in our hearts and the strength to go on.

Refrain
Don’t need no guns to best the man, with love and prayer I know we can
We must do whatever’s right, don’t you know that water is life.

Finding strength to face the man. Look into their faces, remember them.
They made me cry, they burned my eyes, but this is our land and these are our skies

Refrain

Joining hearts to save the earth from the want of a bloodied purse. I must stand here.
Standing Rock and Macinac (Mack-ee-naw), this poison pipe will kill us all.
Water is life for us all.

Refrain

Mid 8 (Em Am D G, Em Am C D)

Must stand strong to save the world from all of those who feed on this corporate greed.
Our waters clean and our rivers free, these are the things that our children need.

Refrain (Repeat)
