Verse 1
G 
Many moons  (G major) have lit the sky,
many battles have ended in smoke and tears,
yet we see minimal change.
Blood has stained our streets,
children have lost their fathers,
mothers have had to en
C 
G 
 (C major) dure with  (G major) rage.
All along we have been enslaved,
oppressed, ridiculed,
and we still feel the after effects.
We flock in numbers,
yet we are called a minority?
Indigenous Peoples of the Americas,
Latinos, Africans,
are we the minority?
I beg to differ.
Our past shows we are warriors
with heart and desire.
Let's stand up to the forces
that are keeping us
from regaining our culture
C 
G 
 (C major) and giving our  (G major) children a
respectable future.
The people of Grassy Narrows
C 
are fight (C major) ing for their land,
G 
their  (G major) culture,
C 
 (C major) an d the environment.
G 
The  (G major) Zapatistas are determined
C 
to use  (C major) nonviolence
to claim their land,
G 
 (G major) uphold respect for women
and forge a new future.
See, they are standing up
to the exploitation of
the corporate mentality.
We too can join.
Will you?
