Six Miles

Lyrics

Our people will not be defined by our traumas The connection that we have to these lands and waters and of course to each other is far greater than anything they can do to us They've tried to beat it out of us, they've tried to over incarcerate us, residential school it out of us, but it remains Land Back is an invitation An invitation to those that have been lost All the brothers and sisters that have been stolen from our nations And there are many that we'rе calling home For us we've been fighting for Land Back sincе contact Our fight here at Six Nations has been about our six miles on each side of that Grand River And now, that six miles, well that was just the beginning You spread like cancer through the land Can't wash red blood off a white man's hands No you can't Try make your people understand That's why they call it, home and native land Home and native land Give it all back, give it all back Just a, take it away, take it away Give it all back, give it all back Just a, take it away, don't you take it away Don't you take it away Six miles each side of the river Six miles each side of the river Sending shivers down your spine I'm just asking for what's mine, yeah Six miles each side of the river Six miles each side of the river Six miles each side of the river Of the river Of the river Here comes the rain And it's made, from our grandmothers tears They watch the water They watched our daughters disappear They watched the water, they watched their daughters They watched the water, watched their daughters Disappear Give it all back, give it all back Just a, take it away, take it away Give it all back, give it all back Just a, take it away, don't you take it away Don't you take it away Six miles each side of the river Six miles each side of the river Sending shivers down your spine I'm just asking for what's mine, yeah Six miles each side of the river Six miles each side of the river Six miles each side of the river Of the river Of the river Give it all back, give it all back Just a, take it away, don't you take it away Give it all back, give it all back Just a, take it away, don't you take it away Give it all back, give it all back Don't you take it away Don't you take it away Don't you take it away Give it all back, give it all back Don't you take it away Don't you take it away Six miles each side of the river Six miles each side of the river Six miles each side of the river Six miles each side of the river Six miles each side of the river Six miles each side of the river Six miles each side of the river Of the river Of the river Of the river Six miles each side
