lyrics

We
Don't really know how to fight
But we do KNOW
How to live and die
WE, we CAN'T
Can't control our minds
We must survive

We
have seen our families die
And we've felt the
Bones of sacrifice
Feel
Trauma of our blood lines
We must survive
 
(short instrumental)

We
have heard our families died
And we've seen the
Bones of sacrifice
Feel
trauma of our blood lines
For them we survive

We,
We know our history will thrive
in the minds of
those who've seen the night
we
have faced the genocide
yet we're still alive

dance for me
sing my songs now
Don't forget that I am the one
who has made
barriers come down
as i sing at my temple a gun

We
Don't really know how to fight
But we do KNOW
How to live and die
We,
we CANT
Can't control our minds
We must survive

(instrumental)

We
Don't really know how to fight
But we do KNOW
How to live and die
We,
we CANT
Can't control our minds
We must survive

We,
We know our history will thrive
in the minds of
those who've seen the night
we
have faced the genocide
yet we're still alive

(short instrumental)

dance for me
sing my songs now
Don't forget that I am the one
who has made
barriers come down
as i sing at my temple a gun

We
have proven that we've arrived
and We do know
the histories of our lives
see
our mothers' sacrifice
For them we survive
(Breakdown) for them we thrive

for them….
we
(pause) cry

(music crescendo)
(long instrumental)

We
Don't really know how to fight
But we do KNOW
How to live and die
WE, we CAN'T
Can't control our minds
We must survive

We
have seen our families die
And we've felt the
Bones of sacrifice
Feel
Trauma of our blood lines
We must survive
