I do not own the land I am standing on.
The house I live in does not belong to me.
I Own Nothing.
They were given to me by my forefathers,
Who took it from native peoples of long ago.
They Owned Nothing.
The sky and the sunsets are not mine to keep.
The shore that calms the evening hours is not mine.
I Own Nothing.
Unprepared for the depth of lies from wicked men
Too many died learning what true cruelty is.
Now Own Nothing.
In my heart a wildfire burns
It burns out of control.
Everything buried in ashes
Darkening my very soul.
In my head a chaos reigns
No music can console
Nothing stands long in its way
Tearing and deepening the hole.
I do not own the land I am standing on.
The house I live in does not belong to me.
I Own Nothing.
They were given to me by my forefathers
Who stole them along with so many lives
Pray for nothing.
We count our possessions measured in gold
But the down payment was paid in tribal blood.
I Own Nothing.
