Run As One
Held my tongue in a code of silence
Assessed the worth of the Oka violence
It's been a fight for what is right
Ancient treaties denied
1990 calling Indian summer year
You could feel the beat of a distant drummer
So strong with pride, side by side
We shared a social changing tide
Got you, run as one now, it's begun and
Feel the beat of a different drum and
Close our ranks and give our thanks to the
Sprite up above
It's our children's children I'm thinking of
They've got to know they can rise above
100 years of quiet fear
And dress for the mic
Got you, run as one now, it's begun and
Feel the beat of a different drum and
Close our ranks and give our thanks to the
Sprite up above
Run as one now, it's begun and
Feel the beat of a different drum and
Close our ranks and give our thanks to the
Sprite up above
Assessed the worth of the Oka violence
It's been a fight for what is right
Ancient treaties denied
1990 calling Indian summer year
You could feel the beat of a distant drummer
So strong with pride, side by side
We shared a social changing tide
Got you, run as one now, it's begun and
Feel the beat of a different drum and
Close our ranks and give our thanks to the
Sprite up above
It's our children's children I'm thinking of
They've got to know they can rise above
100 years of quiet fear
And dress for the mic
Got you, run as one now, it's begun and
Feel the beat of a different drum and
Close our ranks and give our thanks to the
Sprite up above
Run as one now, it's begun and
Feel the beat of a different drum and
Close our ranks and give our thanks to the
Sprite up above
