O no, you're not going to scare me.
this is my land,
this is where I'm going to stay.
O no, you're not scaring me
with your gun.
I don't want to see blood flow,
but it's my life
that you're trying to take away.
I saw my land kidnapped,
My family taken prisoner.
I heard the woods cry,
The streams and the fields bawl.
O no, you are in great danger,
while walking
after night falls.
Once the lambs
are transformed into lions,
where do you think
you will be able to go
to hide?
I saw the trees arming themselves,
The great forests that were rising.
All the earth to avenge me,
Everything the sky to crush you.

'All our belongings were put in a truck. Worse, they got in with a bulldozer. They broke the whole house and the trailer next to it. They left nothing at all '
