No Matter What

Robbed of their rights
Stripped of their dignity
Tortured with impunity
Kept down
Kept silent
Denied education
Controlled by powers that be
No matter what
You can't beat back the wind
No matter what
No matter what
You can't keep down
The rising tide
Robbed of their homeland
Stripped of humanity
Raped and enslaved
Forced into poverty
They're second class citizens
When they were here first
The highest hypocrisy
Robbed of their Gods
Stripped of their liberty
Killed systematically
Their language
Their culture
Their freedom
Stolen
One day we'll answer for this
In Australia
In New Zealand
Up in Canada
Down in the Carribean
In North America
Central America
South America
Angola
In South Africa
The tide is rising
And the wind is blowing
