soil's daughter

aisha badru

knelt down by the water

she told me i am the soil's daughter

and though i look just like my father

my roots

they extend much farther

but we don't respect each other

although we depend on one another

and if we don't form a band of brothers

our strength will remain uncovered

oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

we are the echoes of those before us

and all our stories

they form a chorus

our stage is the earth below us

but we destroy it till she can't hold us

so let us travel into the forest

to see without it then there is no us

become protectors of the waters

'cause they will nourish our daughters

oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh

oh-whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
