I'm worn out,
Exhausted,
Tired of being misunderstood.
Laughed at,
Judged,
Somehow told I never could.

Beaten down and controlled,
Giving everything I can
Dimmed out,
Muted,
So he can think he's a better man.

But I don't care (X2)

Silently carrying the weight of the world
As my family drifts off to sleep
Loved and fed they won't hear a sound
As I sit alone and weep.


I'm sorry my children for what we've done to our land
I'm sorry my sisters for judging you just like a man
For judging you just like a man.

(sequence 2)
I think it's time to restore the balance
I think it's time to take back our chalice
I think it's time to be honest with ourselves
Quit chasing the footsteps of everybody else 

We got thousands of years of suffering in our bones
Calling us back, bringing us home 
This time around you won't quiet us down 
The roars of generations coming up through the ground.

Outro:
It was the voice that led your mother
And her mother long before that
The voice leading our children
And our dreams to call them back.

It was the voice that led your mother
And her mother long before that
The voice leading our children
And our dreams to call them back.
