lyrics

Kari-Oca has again been delivered, twenty years between 1 and 2.
Again in Spain
bodies joining, one year between
soles of shoes crossing the earth.
Empty handed, Empathy is found.
in Bolivia, Evo revokes the license to the foreign takers
people of the land guard their precious resources.
Bodies on the line in a forrest of Pennsylvania
no more taking, no more taking, no more
taking
no more our land, our bodies.
Canadian voices of science and Earth cry out.
Sister Mexico, you see your largest protest
the weight of corruption can no longer be carried.
roll the tape, it loops
round and round.
gather the heart-full troops
this time together, dignity is found.
Syria, what blood runs in your streets?
Born children what can we tell you?
Grandfather tree, so much you have already seen.
Brigades are forming
the beginning of the next wave is nearing
a collapse of time each time
with stronger momentum
we choose
new words
new vision
new feeling
no more dying, fiercely I guard for living.
