“We Are The Ones” Lyrics, by Deva Troy
We are the ones, we are the ones, we are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
1)
You say “I live in your homeland” I say “You’ve no claim to mine”,
We’re both waiting for redemption, with no saviors left to find.
The resolution that we long for from some divine design
Is the story of our ancestors, we’ve long left behind.
We are the ones, We are the ones, we are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
2)
The very earth that we walk on responds to what we do,
We are connected inextricably and she cries from our abuse.
We are her human caretakers and we must think before we choose.
There is far too much at stake, right now, too much for us to lose.
We are the ones, we are the ones, we are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
3)
We’ve been taught that salvation lies outside of our domain,
But living in such powerlessness dishonors Spirit’s name.
Our numbness and our distractions keep us caught up in their game,
While the moneyed power brokers are rewarded, not defamed.
We are the ones, we are the ones, we are the ones we’ve been waiting for.
4)
We live sheltered in our stories, caught up in what we do,
Unaware and uncaring of what “big money” puts us through.
But it’s time now to STOP and come together, all the nations,
And respect all of the kingdoms for we are all of our relations.
We are the ones, we are the ones, we are the ones we’ve been waiting for…
