They brang us up with horns and holly wooden songs, dead snakes ans pois oned wisdoms between our teeth. The evil that's been done still is carrying on, and on this night there'll be no peac
Peace ah ah ah ah. The old leaders' bones beat on our homes, They built our life 'fore us. We had no choice, the evil that's been done still is carrying onk. And when they're gone we'll be the voice, voice, voice, voice. Blue bird on a rock slow wind blowing soft cross the bare face of the sleeping lake. Rise, rise up and be free voice whispered to me. And in this way you will awake. Don't climb up on a hill, stand perfectly still and silently soak up the day. Don't rush and a don't you roam Don't feel so alone, and in this way you will awake. And in this way you will wake. And this way you will awake.
Pick up the pieces you see before you. Don't let your weakness destroy you. You know wherever you go the world will follow, so let your reasons be true, true to you. Stay close to your friends up until the end. And when they know that you feel the same way, rise up and be free and die happily. And in this way you will awake. And in this way you will awake. And this way you will awake. Awake.
Come on and wake.
