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.
