this is for sky the water and the trees
this is for the peaceful fighting on their knees
this is for the stone cold heart of the oppressor
this is for the old soul breathing under pressure
this is for the wisdom and the struggle of my tribe
this is for the hopes and the bodies on the line
this is for the greedy the foolish and the blind
this is for the truth that is blossoming inside

Come take a stand for this land while there’s still life in the soil
cause I refuse to sit and watch my mother drowning in oil
as the corrupted politicians hope to silence with violence
we raise our voices as we rise to form a sacred alliance

so they can beat us but they cannot defeat us
the people of this land are the roots that grow beneath us
standing taller than the mountains chanting down the sky
with the colours of the rainbow Spirit on our side

(chorus)
We got Spirit on our side (x4)
We got Spirit on our side in the change that we seek
Spirit on our side in the words that we speak
Spirit on our side in the love that we give
Spirit on our side when we choose to forgive
Spirit on our side in the pain that we feel
Spirit on our side in the wounds that we heal
Spirit on our side in his infinite grace
Spirit on our side here in this place
Spirit on our side (x4)

Now we need warriors to rise
Warriors unite
Come and gather to pray
May them open their eyes
they know not what they do
we must stand for them too
We need wisdom
compassion and Love

perhaps the purpose of this struggle is to bring us together
to wake us up from the illusion cause we’re in this together
The time has come for us to think about the source of our power
Cause only water turns a seed into a beautiful flower

Now take a minute listen to your wind and reflect
This planet is our only home and we will show her respect
Nobody's gonna come and save us once the damage is done
No wicked uniform can stop us when we stand up as One

So they can beat us but they cannot defeat us
the people of this land are the roots that grow beneath us
standing taller than the mountains chanting down the sky
with the colours of the rainbow Spirit on our side

(chorus)
We got Spirit on our side (x4)
We got Spirit on our side in the change that we seek
Spirit's on our side in the words that we speak
Spirit's on our side in the love that we give
Spirit's on our side when we choose to forgive
Spirit's on our side in the pain that we feel
Spirit's on our side in the wounds that we heal
Spirit's on our side in his infinite grace
Spirit's on our side here in this place
Spirit on our side (x4)
