STANDING ROCK

Ooooohhhh
I want to rock you all to sleep my babies
but there is no where safe to rest.
Ooooohhhh I wanna rock you all...

I yearn to soothe you with whispers of everything's going to be ok but I don't know and I can't say..

I yearn to soothe you with whispers of everything's going to be ok but I don't know and I can't say..

Ooooohhhh
I want to rock you in the breeze
Ooooohhhh
as you swing on the tree,

But the breeze has turned to wild winds full of dust and debris

But the breeze has turned to wild winds full of dust and debris

I don’t want to tell my grandchildren
They came I was too afraid
They took all they wanted
And that's how this mess was made
I'll tell them of the victory that came after our demonstration where mothers and fathers risked losing it all for the future generations

Ooooohhhh I wanna rock you all
To sleep my babies
Ooooohhhh

I'll tell them of the powerful people who were sane enough to listen
And the day we changed earth's history
With conviction of our mission
So drop your gear your riot shield
Take a moment to consider
Protect the earth my friend
It’s our effort to deliver

I stand and face your baton and still I do not quiver
I am here I will not turn away I will protect this river

I stand and face your baton and still I do not quiver
I am here I will not turn away I will protect this river
