Lyrics

(chorus 1)
Can we take more than we’ve already taken?
Fearing for our children and our wives
We have taken more than anyone should ever have to take
So I ask you now, Can we make a new life
I ask you now, Can we make a new life

The uncertainty, the challenge and the struggle
Knowing nothing but the feeling of it all
Takes my breath away and asks me to reach down and to stand tall
Transform this into something that will benefit us all

(chorus 2)
Can we take more than we’ve already taken?
Fearing for our families and our lives
With the guns of ignorance and hatred at our heads
I’m telling you now, We can make a new life
Yeah I’m telling you now, We ‘re gonna make a new life

All the courage, all the patience, all the laughter
All the drumming and the dancing and the cheers
All our women, men and children deserve better
Instead of slavery It’s dignity, its love instead of fear

(chorus 3)
Can we give more than we’ve already given
Can we feel into the struggles in their lives
Can we reach down inside our hearts and look into their eyes
Can we tell them now, We’ll help you build a new life
Can we tell them now, We’ll help you build a new life
