We try to take another step
Towards where we can be
Independent and free
We try to keep our babies warm
To build a shelter
To keep them safe from the storm
At least we try…
At least we try…
We try to make a better world
For the unfortunate that will follow
Heading for higher grounds…
They keep us on the run
Is there no sacred place under the sun?
Can we let it happen?
Will their hate prevail?
Are they gonna get their will?
Will we get out of this jail?
Heading for higher grounds…
They keep us on the run
Is there no sacred place under the sun?
Heading for higher grounds…
They keep us on the run
Is there no sacred place under the sun?
We’re fighting for our liberty
For our future, and for our integrity
We try our best to stay
Out of their faces; out of their way
At least we try…
At least we try…
We try to take another step
Towards where we can be
Independent and free
Heading for higher grounds…
They keep us on the run
Is there no sacred place under the sun?
Can we let it happen?
Will their hate prevail?
Are they gonna get their will?
Will we get out of this jail?
Heading for higher grounds…
They keep us on the run
Is there no sacred place under the sun?
