"Whose Side Are You
On?"

Worn
tired faces
streaked with dirt
lined with age
far beyond the yearsHands held
unity defying your desire to divide
heart's beating
the drummer's rhythm
bearing our battle cry to war
Spirits
lifting and moving bodies
too tired to carry on their own
Hearts
speaking the truth
comes from deep within
endless souls
marching
pushing forward
towards our goals
And there you are
on the other side
You lie to slander our names
You steal what is rightfully ours
You wrongfully imprison
but what is deeper
that
you can never have
You block our way
with your twisted authority
You tear apart our barricades
of honor and truth
You even hurt our bodies
but what is deeper
that you can never have
And I know that makes you angry
Your so-called power feels a threat
because we all know
that strength in us
is
what is deeper
you can never have
