Lyla June - All Nations Rise (Official Music Video)

[daniellehaynez]

im a Cherokee, and we women need to stick together and support each other despite different nations and races. Hate breeds evil. Love is light. <3

[kevynbreedon]

Transcribed for Deaf and hard of hearing:

Indigenous people. Shine your light, we are equal. I remember the days when our prayers were illegal. I remember the days when being Indian was lethal. Yeah, we had a rough past but get ready for the sequel. Get ready for the glory, it's come back of our people. Oh yeah.
Rise up, all you warriors of love. All you answers to the prayers of our ancestors from above. I can feel it in my heart. Can you feel it in your blood? I can hear the sound of fire calling us to wake up! Wake up!
All nations rise! Rise up 'cause now's your time. We don't have to hide anymore 'cause now's the time. All nations rise. Rise up 'cause now's your time. We don't have to hide anymore 'cause now's the time.
With forgiveness as my bow and my prayers as my arrows, pull 'em back and let go. I watch 'em fly like sparrows. Have hope. Yeah, have hope! With compassion as my shield and faith down to my marrow I will walk the pollen path even when it gets narrow! Yeah, I resurrect.
Yes, you can bet that we seen the single mama raising children on the rez. We seen domestic violence tear apart what we have left. We seen the alcohol take it all and leave us dead. Seen the children take their lives when they can't take the dread anymore. It's a war. Can't take the dread anymore. It's a war. No, we can't take the dread anymore. It's a war. No, we can't take the dread anymore. It's a war.
It's a war but we we've seen it all before and now we know we can change it 'cause that's why we were born. We know we are the ones that we have been waiting for. We are the ones Grandma has been praying for.
So rise up, all you warriors of love. All you answers to the prayers of our ancestors from above. I can feel it in my heart. Can you feel it in your blood? I can hear the sound of fire calling us to wake up! Wake up!
... They say that history is written by the victors but how can there be a victor when the war isn't over? The battle has only just begun. And creator is sending his very best warriors. And this time, it isn't Indians verses Cowboys. No, this time it is all the beautiful races of humanity together on the same side. And we are fighting to replace our fear with love. And this time bullets, arrows, and cannonballs won't save us. The only weapons that are useful in this battle are the weapons of truth, faith, and compassion.

All the races of humanity together on the same side. Your beautiful spirit shines. ❤

[kolyabg]

Those were my ancestors in Ireland and Scotland. My heart breaks at the suffering they endured. Shedding light on this is so important. Never again! May women be untied.

I’m a Chippewa and I want to express love for our Native brothers and sisters in Mexico and South America 🦁🦁🦁

[roju]

I was so surprised that us Indigenous people of Mexico were represented in this!! I lost my mind when she started singing in spanish 🤩‼️

[mightymissk]

My God. That was absolutely brilliant. I'm in tears here. Bravo! This is poetry. Lyla Jane, you are a great songwriter. You're up there with Tracy Chapman and Buffy Saint Marie.

[antoniofranco]

Ain't it crazy how this can apply for today. Made 7yrs ago, yet, with everything going on rn, it still applies today. I believe it.. we need to stand together as one.

[RC-nvuu]

6 years later the message is stronger than ever stay strong people walk in love

[kimberleyshott]

This is my seven-year-old daughter's favorite song right now. ❤🌈🙏

She asked me to sing this song as part of her bedtime songs.
