Whose Side Are You On?

Worn
tired faces
streaked with dirt
lined with age
far beyond the years

Hands held
unity defying your desire to divide
heart's beating
the drummer's rhythm
bearing our battle cry to war

Spirits
lifting and moving bodies
too tired to carry on their own


Hearts
speaking the truth
comes from deep within
endless souls
marching
pushing fowrad
towards our goals

And there you are
on the other side
You lie to slander our names
You steal what is rightfully ours
You wrongfully imprison
but what is deeper
that
you can never have

You block our way
with your twisted authority
You tear apart our barricades
of honor and truth
You even hurt our bodies
but what is deeper
that you can never have

And I know that makes you angry
Your so-called power feels a threat
because we all know
that strength  in us
is
what is deeper
you can never have
