In the River: A Protest Song Lyrics
[Verse 1]
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 our right
To keep the future bright
And protect the ones we love
[Chorus]
In the river is our sisters and our brothers
We are camping out for each other
We are stronger when we band together
And we’re standing up for the water
Don’t poison the future away
[Verse 2]
You’ve gotta have a soul
Mother Earth protects us all
If you treat her with disrespect
Then what message have you left
For your children and their home?
[Chorus]
In the river is our sisters and our brothers
We are camping out for each other
We are stronger when we band together
And we’re standing up for the water
Don’t poison the future away
[Bridge]
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 sons and daughters
[Chorus]
In the river is our sisters and our brothers
We are camping out for each other
We are stronger when we band together
And we’re standing up for the water
Don’t poison the future away
