Life that we Own

from The Wolf and the Girl Child by The Tealeaves

/

lyrics

Do you hear it now, we rise in song
See the gathering of people silenced for so long
For the ones betrayed, by this world we made
Locked inside its broken walls
We are here to see them fall

It is time to remember, time to embrace who we are
Through the distance between us, those who would tear us apart
We are coming together, forging a home
Nothing to fear, gathering here
Let us claim this life that we own

Do you wonder why, we close the gates
Let the people drown, greet those fleeing war with our hate
See the fear reside, in our nation’s eyes
Let them hear these words again
You don’t do this in our name

Now it’s time to remember, time to embrace a new day
We are brothers and sisters, divided by borders we make
We are striving together, forging a home
Love without fear, gathering here
Let us claim this life that we own

It is hope we cling to
Hope that gathers us here
And it’s love we bring to
Bind the wounds, and counter the fear
Can you see the day is near

It is time to remember, time to see where we fall
Protect those around us, fight for the rights of us all
We are all one people, all one kind
Conquer the fear, gather them near
We will pave the way to be shown
Sing it loud, wherever you roam
We will claim this life that we own
