The people united will never be defeated.
Not going back.
Not going back to same old, same old putting up with all the lies,
its a sick world when people are abused for being indigenous.
Then afterwards the same haters telling the scars aren't real.
This week the 3rd journalist in a month was murdered in Mexico.
And, How many persons with less attention are under fire, at risk, being targeted, under attack in some way?
Just for saying "I exist".
As an indigenous person, I exist.
To hold water, to carry water, as a natural person, I exist.
From the mountain tops the rain fell, and the water poured and streamed down the mountains,
and my heart is glad!
I am in love with the water,
I am alive with water,
I am in awe!!
Leaders, make sense to help us,
We who left our homes under force,
we who stayed in homes without water,
we who have no homes to return to,
we who pose a threat to the destructors just by being alive, help us!
We do exist, from time in the beginning till today, we do exist!
We exist in beauty, even our scars are beautiful!
We don't want any scars, but even our scars are beautiful!
