Lyrics
In the midst of 1492, supposedly/the holy ground was found/they never said that we were lost no/ha ha ha ha/word got around/over time
But standing in the water with the shore right here/there was nothing they could do or say/to get us out of the water and back into the boat/yeah we'll stay right here/if that's ok?/when the holy ground was found
We're standing high on this ocean wave/yeah we manifest this destiny/and take our slaves/and we're claiming the land/yeah like it or not/we're gonna make it your hell/if you don't want to help us out/we're gonna help ourselves/when the holy ground was found (the holy ground was not found)
But standing with a native down the barrel of a gun/there was nothing they could do or say/to get us off of the land man/back into the water/ yeah we'll stay right here/if that's ok?/when the holy ground was found
