The Answer (Lies in Your History)

Verse
It's taking awhile for the new world to realize
to make an amends of the darkness of their rape driven genocide 
When you consciously rip a family from their roots and ties
You better beware of the consequence of such a careless crime

And you wonder why division's in your nations hold
And you wonder why discrimination has you cold   
And you wonder why the bullets spray in your schools
You disregard the ones that live and speak the truth

Chorus
Well It's plain to see that the answer lies in your history
I think it's time to admit to the sins of your history? 
I know that you printed lies in the books of your history
The more you do you will live in the dark of your legacy   

Verse 2
You broke the child as you see it in the  peoples eyes
You can hear it through the echoes of their ancestors holy cries
You spoke of freedom to the world of your countries pride
But your system shuts the doors to those that don't fall in line

Pre Chorus 
And you wonder why division's in your nations hold
And you wonder why discrimination has you cold
Inside every soul 	lies a wound that's far too deep
It's the children of today that'll kill the beast 
 
Chorus
Well It's plain to see that the answer lies in your history
I think it's time to admit to the sins of your history? 
I know that you printed lies in the books of your history
The more you do you will live in the dark of your legacy   

We're still living it through the tears of our  mothers cry
We're still living it through the tears of our fathers eyes 

Chorus
Well It's plain to see that the answer lies in your history
I think it's time to admit to the sins of your history? 
I know that you printed lies in the books of your history
The more you do you will live in the dark of your legacy

Light Of Hope (Rise Up)-Demo

Quite possibly one of the most difficult tracks to work on. Although it's a work in progress, I feel I captured the spirit of what the song is about, I hope you feel the same way. Dedicated to all the Canadian Residential School Survivors and their families. <3

LYRICS
VERSE 1
The needle tears into my pain
What it has always done to me
It  went and did again
I went and did again

The only thought that I could pass
was to blame the ones of the past
I went and did again
It went and did it again

PRE CHORUS
All my life I’ve grown
But the walls always jumped in front of me
All my life I’ve shown
To try and take nothing for granted but to live and see

CHORUS
The scars will remain
And I will sustain  
 This life that I claim
Given with my name
I will refrain
Allowing  the pain
Letting phantoms
Get through my skin 


VERSE 2
I threw myself into a dream
As the lightening crashed all   around me
It went and did it again
I went and did it again

Stuck inside the eye of the storm
And I see that I’m not alone
It went and did it again
We went and did it again   

PRE CHORUS
All my life I’ve grown
But the storms always fell in front of me
All my life I’ve shown
That I can walk through the stinging rain and live and see

CHORUS

BREAK/DROP
It’s getting harder to escape  
I twist and bend through the stormy rage 
But I know that I can’t forsake
The driving force to beat the rain
Oh I can’t be defeated
No I won’t be defeated
Oh I can’t be defeated
Cos I know we will make it

CHORUS/OUT

Heyaaa
Heya heya heyaaaa

Verse 1
We are a big family
We try to learn in harmony
Even when you're struggling
We lend the love we’re carrying

We stand together as we prepare
New beginnings that we will share
The life that we are going for
Are like generations that lived before

We rise with the sun as we walk towards our future 
Follow our elders with help from our teachers
We will stay strong and fly high like an eagle
We ain’t turning back from the ways of our people

Chorus x4
We are (We Are) We are Badabin

Verse 2
We are the real north
We face the wind, cold and sand
We can’t be stopped by any storm
Together we stand
Indaanskohshiimnaans 
Will be there with guiding hands
Ain’t nobody gonna get in the way of our plans

Sook nikuutstanaan (We try very hard)
Jajii Pimaatstiyaats (To keep alive)
Eeyou Eetuun (Our Cree Way of Life)
Kiya Eeyou Ayimuun (And the Cree Language)
