What does it take to make us say,
exploiting and greed isn’t spiritual way.
To drive the people from promised land,
where they were ensured a very last stand.
Incarcerating the wise for their own beliefs,
all because of the lands in their keep.

What does it take to make us say,
how can this happen in this time and day?
Broken promises lay like broken glass,
stretching all the way from days of the past.
It has always been, one and the same,
when land in question is the name of the game.

What does it take to make us say,
leave the minerals to stay and lay.
Promises are more sacred then coal or gold,
the ones we elected need to be told.
Time has come to stop turning the head,
be of the people, there is more needs said.

What does it take to make us say,
enough is enough, this is not a play.
Negotiate in council like learned men,
for to lie and cheat is only a sin.
Might is not right, when lives are at stake
so let us say, before mistakes they make
