Our faces are stern
Our wills determined
We basked in knowledge
Coming back from the edge
We retraced our footsteps
Illuminated like silver
From the bank of the polluted river
Children, children, children
We're the first for Mama's Earth
Before us there was only void and dust
For Mama Earth, we are the first
Created under southern skies
Wear these truths in your eyes
Beat, beat the drums
Till we drowned the voices
Of the old books and words
Based on the big lie
Play, play, play, man
Marley's three little birds
Avoid the deceitful waters
High as the black kites fly
Children, children, children
We're the first for Mama's Earth
Before us there was only void and dust
For Mama Earth, we are the first
Created under southern skies
Wear these truths in your eyes
Oh, children, children, children
We're the first for Mama's Earth
Before us there was only void and dust
For Mama Earth, we are the first
Created under southern skies
Wear these truths in your eyes
There are changes in the cities
The voices of the dead
Rang with fury in the media
Cutting the streets like shrapnel
Our armor rolled up to the head
The tide cannot be held
Oh, children, children, children
We're the first for Mama's Earth
Before us there was only void and dust
For Mama Earth, we are the first
Created under southern skies
Wear these truths in your eyes
Our faces are stun
Our will determined
We basked in knowledge
Coming back from the edge
We retraced our footsteps
Illuminated like silver
From the bank of the polluted river
Oh, children, children, children
We're the first for Mama's Earth
Before us there was only void and dust
For Mama Earth, we are the first
Created under southern skies
Wear these truths in your eyes
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
