lyrics

Oh le le le

I am a mountain, I am a rock
I’m the ocean tide that no man can stop
My breath is wind in trees
My blood is hope and dreams
I run with wild horses and rivers to the sea

Oh le le le, Oh le le la
Freedom alive or dead
That’s our battle cry

Oh le le le, Oh le le la
For every one that you cut down
A thousand more will rise

The lessons of history, seem hidden from your view
The human spirit doesn’t quit, it grows more resolute
You can’t force us to be silent, you can’t force us agree
You’ll fail ‘cause we’ll struggle until eternity

The more you push us down, the more we’ll hold our ground
Time and god are on our side, can you hear that sound?
It’s the scream of the lion, the wolf’s cry in the night
The rumble of the volcano, waiting to ignite
