| Verse 1 |
Did you know when you built your cave
And used your tools to hunt for prey
Did you know there would come a day
Your fires and fury would lead this way? |
| Chorus |
And when you held your stick up high
And aimed it at the endless sky -
Did you think you would touch the hand
Of someone in the Seventh Generation?
Reaching over five thousand Nations
Like you reached me? Whoa yeah! |
| Verse 2 |
As you drifted, counting stars
Did you think you'd sail this far?
As the New World welcomed you
Could you guess the harm you'd do? |
| Chorus |
And when you held your stick up high
And aimed it at the endless sky -
Did you think you would touch the hand
Of someone in the Seventh Generation?
Reaching over five thousand Nations
Like you reached me? Whoa yeah! |
| Verse 3 |
On the day she won the vote
And spoke above the cigar smoke
She said "A woman's place is Life!"
Did she think we'd get the right? |
| Chorus |
And when you held your stick up high
And aimed it at the endless sky -
Did you think you would touch the hand
Of someone in the Seventh Generation?
Reaching over five thousand Nations
Like you reached me? Whoa yeah! |
| Verse 4 |
On the day you took a stand
And tied your leg to a Redwood branch
Could you see a greener day
When asphalt lots are cleared away? |
| Chorus |
And when you held your stick up high
And aimed it at the endless sky -
Did you think you would touch the hand
Of someone in the Seventh Generation?
Reaching over five thousand Nations
Like you reached me? Whoa yeah!
Like you reached me? Whoa yeah!
Like you reached me? Whoa yeah! |
