In The River: a Protest Song

There's got to be some hope
There's got to be some hope
There's got to be some way
For you to send your dogs away
And to leave the land alone

It's got to be a crime
Somewhere in your heart you'll find
We're fighting for the right to keep the future bright
And protect the ones we love

In the river is our sisters and our brothers
We're camping out for each other
We're stronger when we band together
And we're standing up for the water
Don't poison the future away

You've go to have a soul
Mother earth protects us all
If you treat her with disrespect
Then wheat message have you left
For your children and their home?

In the river is our sisters and our brothers
We're camping out for each other
We're stronger when we band together
And we're standing up for the water
Don't poison the future away

How can you take take take
And not appreciate the soil?
Don't let this black snake contaminate our drinking water
This is for our songs and daughters

In the river is our sisters and our brothers
We're camping out for each other
We're stronger when we band together
And we're standing up for the water
Don't poison the future away
