Indigenous People

Yesterday North Dakota looked more like a war zone than
The site of a protest over the construction of a pipeline
The protest in North Dakota against a
Major oil pipeline continues to grow
Thousands of Native Americans representing more than 200
Tribes from across the Americas are resisting the
Construction of the 3.8 billion dollar Dakota Access Pipeline
Something that's been argued over for years but just recently
The clash between protesters and the builders turned violent

We are indigenous people
We are indigenous people
We are indigenous people
Yes we are indigenous people

We are Dakota, we are Inca
We are the Zulu, we are Gaelic, Apache and Malinka
Descendants of the great Zimbabwe
We are the Sioux, Aborigines, the real Guanahatabe
Ringing the alarm in the darkness of the night
In the face of fear we are guided by the light
Perfect opportunity Jah people stand and fight
In peace we must unite, yeah

We are indigenous people
We are indigenous people
We are all indigenous people
Yes we are indigenous people

So they come with their guns and their bombs
Forcing the peaceful protesters to run along, run along
Together we resist your violence
Complacency is birthed in silence
Water is life so warriors be strong, be strong, hey

We are indigenous people
We are indigenous people
We are all indigenous people
Yes we are indigenous people

Standing Rock we are standing with you
Standing Rock we are standing with you
Standing Rock we are standing with you
