Pura Fé - Borders lyrics

rate me

ime to rekindle the ancestral memory

Water the roots that run far and deep

From the top of Alaska to the tip of Chile

Is the First Red Nations Indigenous Family Tree

One land foundation, under Canada, U.S., Mexico, border divides

With Brother Condor below and islands to our sides!

Chorus:

We didn't cross border, the border crossed us

"Big business" travels the world, Free Trade is unjust

Why can't we cross through Grammah's yard to make an honest buck

It's your illegal fence on Indian land grabbing, people trucking, drug bustin',

Choppers flyin' way up high, like piñatas in the sky, see how the money flies

We didn't cross the border, the border crossed us

Older than bogus "Clovis First," "Kenniwick Man," B-S "Bering Strait Theory"

No matter how much you cover, rewrite, uproot us like weeds

We are the land as far and wide as you can dig deep

Our buried knowledge that gave birth to the "new world" free

Has come full circle, creation, migration, and prophecy

Aztlan, Turtle Island, Condor and Eagle, we fly free

(Chorus)

I only see my Aztec brothers float like eagles way up high

Throwing power tools as they dance wood beams in the sky

Building, climbing condo pyramids with their ancestors speed of light

Mohawk brothers, skywalkers build steel mountains in flight

One land under Canada, U.S. Mexico border divides

They travel as far as they build high and wide...

(Chorus)
