I dont know where to stand, up on the mountain or down in the sand Cause I like being way up high, said I like being up but I dont know why But up here I can see the walls built by man to divide us all Theyve been making war and deny us peace They took away the land and then they brought disease Those white men whove got the key to black mans identity And those lands they were spossed to be forever They got no heart, they got no right And if you decide to fight, please know that we can fight together! Well be the water, water, water Well be the water for their fire ( water for their fire) Well be the water, water, water Well be the water for their fire ( water for their fire) They have the tendency to put in their pockets everything they see Theyve been taking lands all across the globe And writing down their name on every rock and stone But it ain't no mystery, theyre keeping the children from their ancestry They lock them out of their sacred ground Well, one day Im gonna see them pull those fences down Those white men whove got the key to black mans identity And those lands, they were spossed to be forever! They got no heart, they got no right And if you decide to fight, please know that we can fight together! Well be the water, water, water Well be the water for their fire ( water for their fire) Well be the water, water, water Well be the water for their fire ( water for their fire) Now, our history is a shame to me but I still got faith in humanity Can we swap back all the wrongs for rights And let the people walk free every day and night, cause Each nation has their own piece of earth that they call their home Its a point of reference to identify So if you dont know where you come from, you know why. (Its those) Those white men whove got the key to black mans identity And those lands, they were spossed to be forever! They got no heart, they got no right And if you decide to fight, please know that we can fight together! Well be the water, water, water Well be the water for their fire ( water for their fire) Well be the water, water, water Well be the water for their fire ( water for their fire)
