Turn and Face the Storm
Like thunder they will return;
And create storms of retribution.
Teach you how to unlearn;
With civil disobedience revolution.
Lightning dance upon the ground!
Fire rain from the sky.
A peoples becoming unbound;
History circles to rectify.
Those who are dead, rejoin!
Those who are living, remorse!
With the flip of the oppressor's coin;
Let nature take her course.
Winds across the prairies!
And storms on the southern plains.
Throughout the ancestor's voice carries;
Nothing more shall be the same.
Prophecies set in motion,
By greed and negligence.
With Mother Earth we vow devotion;
While others claim ignorance.
Let it come from all directions!
And mercy not be shown,
Their time has elapsed for corrections.
It is well with me, let it be done.
Creator Grandfather hear our cries!
The acts of war they chose;
Will they be satisfied if Earth dies,
With the pollution they imposed?
