Look at us

    We are of earth and water

    Look at them

    It is the same

    Look at us

    We are suffering all these years

    Look at them

    They are connected

    Look at us

    We are in pain

    Look at them

    Surprised at our anger

    Look at us

    We are struggling to survive

    Look at them

    Expecting sorrow be benign

    Look at us

    We are the ones called pagan

    Look at them

    On their arrival

    Look at us

    We are called subversive

    Look at them

    Descending from name callers

    Look at us

    We wept sadly in the long dark

    Look at them

    Hiding in technologic light

    Look at us

    We buried the generations

    Look at them

    Inventing the body count

    Look at us

    We are older than America

    Look at them

    Chasing a fountain of youth

    Look at us we are embracing earth

    Look at them

    Clutching today

    Look at us

    We are living in the generations

    Look at them

    Existing in jobs and debt

    Look at us

    We have escaped many times

    Look at them

    They cannot remember

    Look at us

    We are healing

    Look at them

    Their medicine is patented

    Look at us

    We are trying

    Look at them

    What are they doing

    Look at us

    We are children of earth

    Look at them

    Who are they
