- [Both] And I trust in the world you have given to us.
And we'll fight with my bones and my fists if I must.
To shatter the wall they put up with fear.
I will break all the rules - Just to keep her here.
Oh, mother Mountains, mother of fire.
I climb the highest ridges and I light the pire.
To burn down the kingdoms created by greed.
We'll dance on their ashes watch their power recede.
- [Both] And I trust in the world you have given to us.
I will fight with my heart and my mind if I must.
To tear down the fences and take down the flags.
And undraw the lines that divide us in half.
Oh Mother of freedom, mother of hope.
I'll pull back the blinders and I'll cut all the rope.
Smash all the windows, give away all my clothes.
Now walk through your belly.
Get your mud on my toes.
Cuz I trust in the world you have given to us And I'll fight with my fingers, tooth nail if I must.
And I'll spare your body,
