ITS TIME TO RISE UP

Some say the blacker the berry, the sweeter the juice

I say the darker the flesh and the deeper the roots.....

But right now were going to change it up a little

these 3 roots are going to represent 3 different things

ok THIS IS THE FIRST ROOT

we now have international trade policies that in many ways undermine the developing countries

first you come into our lands--nuestras tierras-- and push us out and destroy it!

then you take my people--mi gente-- and you create, re-educate, destroy their minds and make them into slaves

now you have made them think they are powerless but thats going to change because

I AM THE THIRD ROOT

I AM Martin Luther King and Caesar Chavez

I AM the Brown BERETS and the Black Panthers

WE ARE the Zapatistas and we have a DREAM and that is to change things and make peace

I also want YOU to Know that caring for the environment is a JOURNEY not a DESTINATION
