chorus Theres no way, no how That anything could ever hold a native down 2x verse 2 This land was once our own When we were all a team This land was called kanata Which really means clean And each and every one of us only had one name Yeah we were livin peacefully until that one day The sailors came along With all the sticks that thunder What did we do thats wrong The chiefs were left to wonder They took it all away The faces of the pale They tryed to take away our pride but they failed verse 3 Look at our native elders How can you hurt em more Removed em from there family And even worse with force Our land was good enough but still they tryed to take whats best To try discourage our tradition was a failing test Which lead to punishment And some were left deceased So many others lived But abused, mentally The residential schools My natives still tear We made em look like fools cuz were still here verse 3 Now what you see today is Conjunction in the air Effecting on our natives Corruption everywhere All kinds of sickness spreading Whos gonna choose to fight Before this further happens Or even suicide But how can you neglect it Our woman are abused There feeling unprotected And feeling so confused And all these other murders There uninvestigated But still our spirit stays death cant even take it bridge I know you feel it in your hearts and you know that its real How does it feel To survive, still alive Never die, you know why Because
