Moon Meets the Sun - Our Native Daughters, Amythyst Kiah, Rhiannon Giddens

When the day is done

The moon meets the sun

We’ll be dancing

When the day is done

The moon meets the sun

We’ll be dancing

You put the shackles on our feet

But we’re dancing

You steal our very tongue

But we’re dancing

Brown girl in the ring

Raise your voice and sing

Sing us solace

Sing us freedom

Hold us steady

Keep us breathing

We’ll endure this

You can’t stop us

And we’re dancing

You steal our children

But we’re dancing

You make us hate our very skin

But we’re dancing

We’re your sons

We’re your daughters

But you sell us

Down the river

May the God

That you gave us

Forgive you

Your trespasses

We’re survivors

You can’t stop us

And we’re dancing

When the day is done

The moon meets the sun

We’ll be dancing

When the day is done

The moon meets the sun

We’ll be dancing

Like the rabbit

We won’t bend to your will

Like the spider

The smallest will still prevail

The stories of our elders

We find comfort in these

We smile to the sky

We move to stay alive

And we’re dancing

You steal our work for your profit

But we’re dancing

You think our home we have forgotten

But we’re dancing

Step into the circle

Step into the ring

Raise your voice and sing

Sing freedom

Sing freedom

You can’t stop us now

You can’t keep us down

We’ll be dancing

When the day is done

The moon meets the sun

We’ll be dancing

When the day is done

The moon meets the sun

We’ll be dancing

You can’t stop us now (We'll be dancing)

You can’t keep us down (We'll be dancing)

You can’t stop us now (We'll be dancing)

You can’t keep us down (We'll be dancing)

You can’t stop us now (We'll be dancing)

You can’t keep us down (We'll be dancing)

You can’t stop us now

You can’t keep us down

You can’t stop us now (We'll be dancing)

You can’t keep us down (We'll be dancing)

You can’t stop us now (We'll be dancing)

You can’t keep us down (We'll be dancing)

You can’t keep us down (We'll be dancing)

You can’t keep us down (We'll be dancing)

You can’t keep us down (We'll be dancing)
