julian taylor - stolen lands كلمات الأغنية

[verse 1]
it’s raining, i’m staring outside my window
there’s a tiredness in my bones
i feel helpless and alone
deep within our mother’s womb _ lie the bodies of children in unmarked hidden tombs
purpose and reason
that’s what they say that you’ll get when you have kids
and i did
bruises and fresh opened wounds
reveal stories that were told to me in ruin
i knew an old man who’d sit in his armchair
sometimes at night i’d catch him crying, sitting there
he cried because when he was a kid
[pre_chorus]
he spoke his language
and then lost his voice and part of his own lineage

[chorus 1]
this land is your land
this land is my land
this land was made for you and me
a poor choice of words by woody guthrie
this land was taken and now everyone sees

[refrain]
one family had their land stolen
the other was stolen from their land and here i stand

[verse 2]
it’s dark out, the storms raging
static noise transmission on the radio
there’s an aching in my bones
i feel lost and far from home
purpose and reason
that’s what they say that you’ll get when you have kids
and i did
i’m not sad
i’m devastated
underneath all of that pain _ hard beads of cold rain
i know a black woman who sits at her desk chair
sometimes she cries sitting there because fear became her worst nightmare
[pre_chorus]
she cries because her only son was k!lled by a shotgun
another senseless tragedy triggered by police brutality

[chorus 2]
this land is your land
this land is my land
this land was made for you and me
a poor choice of words by woody guthrie
this land was taken and built on slavery

[outro]
one family had their land stolen
the other was stolen from their land and here i stand
