lyrics

Oh mama, my father is dying
Oh mama, my father is dying
told me I was bound for hell
clipped my wings and down he fell
Oh mama, my father is dying

Oh father, my brothers are dying
Oh father, my brothers are dying
they are drowning in their tears
they've been fighting back for years
Oh father, my brothers are dying

Oh brothers, our sisters are dying
Oh brothers, our sisters are dying
caged and stripped them of their claws
penned them up with hateful laws
Oh brothers, our sisters are dying

Oh sisters, our mother is dying
Oh sisters, our mother is dying
warm blood flows into cold ground
all life's blood is in our hands
Oh sisters, our mother is dying

Oh lover, our child is crying
Oh lover, our child is crying
hear her wailing in the night
while we lock our doors and hide
Oh lover, our child is crying
