Lyrics

They brang us up with hornns and hollywooden songs Dead snakes and poisoned wisdoms between our teeth The evil that's been done sitll is carrying on And on this night there'll be no peace The old leaders' bones still beat on our homes They built our life before us, we had no choice The evil that's been done still is carring on And when they're done we will be the voice Blue bird on a rock, slow wind blowing soft Across the bare face of the sleeping lake Rise up and be free, voice whispered to me And in this way you will awake Go climb up a hill, stand perfectly still And silently soak up the day Don't rush and don't you roam, don't feel so alone And in this way you will awake And in this way you will awake And this way you will awake Pick up the pieces you see before you Don't let your weaknesses destroy you You know wherever you go the world will follow So let your reasons be 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
