Our Dignity

When will we know, when will we know (2x)
When will we know, when will we know
When will we know, our dignity

For now we wait, and bide our time
It’s been too long, to turn around
We’ve traveled far, to reach this place
We’ll take no less, than our dignity

We will wait for it, we will fight for it
Feel the ground humming, a new world coming
Make the path forward, Justice lead onward
Build the way to our dignity

Then we will know, then we will know (2x)
Then we will know, then we will know
Then we will know, our dignity

When we are safe, to draw our breath
And grieve the loss, of those who’ve passed
We carry forth, our elders’ dreams
We carry on, with our dignity

In the face of where we’ve been
We are in and in between
We’ll emerge from tear-stained soil
Rooted in our dignity
