Strangers in Our Own Land

Something simple
Is what we want
But they don't want to give

How we want
To really live
Indigenous land this is

But they don't see the situation
Only concerned with money and vacation
Betrayed in our own land
Sometimes they treat us like Strangers In Our Own Land
Ohhh...
Here they come again
And they take so much from us
I don't know

What do I have left to give for them
They take everything from we
And what do we have left to give for them
They don't want us happy
They try to take everything and send us back
To our little piece
Do they want us to be
Ever really be free?

Freedom to us
Is probably not the same thing it is to you
Instructions of how to live
Don't include money they are spiritual
How to live in balance
With all of creation
If we don't do that it's destruction of our nations
Betrayed in our own land
We're always treated like strangers in our own land
First they took the land and kids
Now minerals, water
I don't know

What do I have left to give for them
They take everything from we
And what do we have left to give for them
They don't want us happy
They try to take everything and send us back
To our little piece
Do they want us to be
Ever really be free?

At Standing Rock we stood up
They pushed us down
Because they want their money
And they want it now
Same process of colonization
That's been destroying every Indigenous nation
Your money is made off of our destruction
I don't know

What do I have left to give for them
They take everything from we
And what do we have left to give for them
They don't want us happy
They try to take everything and send us back
To our little piece
Makes me wonder will we, ever be free again

Or will the world, destroy itself?
