We


Verse 1

We are not candy, we are not animals

We're originators of a land

That's been used and abused

We are serious about our liberation

We're disengaging from creations

Which have been designed to harm us

Nothing is more important than truth and independence

The authority of our lives

What we choose to believe in

It's what we worship

It's what we try to manifest regularly

Without it, we're epically hollow

And far from who we should be

Perfecting the skills of listening and thinking

Will determine the path of our journey

And our eternal status


Verse 2

Brain-washing is a practice we engage in

To rid ourselves of the junk

That's been accumulated over the years

The notions of inferiority were accepted and taught

And now are rejected

They are banished from our breath and sounds

From our thoughts and behaviour

If it's not important, then it's not worth trying

Something to ignore, something to forget

And to not be bothered with

We've been carrying the heavy weight of frustration and anger

Our experiences were being tainted

And our senses were compromised


Verse 3

There are consequences to having nothing

To letting anything affect you

To suppressing your natural abilities

What you give is ultimately what you get

So give all that you can to yourself

Be exceedingly generous

There are rules to follow, plans to conceive of

Whatever condition you're in

You'll need confidence for elevation


Chorus

We will be healthy

We will be mighty again

We will express ourselves in productive and profound ways

We will be intelligent

We will be compassionate

We will learn how to be human again
