we shall overcome - nahko and medicine for the people lyrics

[woman]
maybe i’m not here to be a superstar after all
maybe i’m here to pray for all those who have lost hope along the way

[man]
venceremos
venceremos
yo recuerdo
yo perdon
reculamos
perdonamos

[verse 1]
i’m on the verge of everything
reluctantly surrendering so honestly
tiptoe to the edge of my destiny
free fall backwards, great mystery
speakin’ to me, the pain of the youth
the confusion of the people and their struggle for truth
yeah, regroup and renew
time to regroup, renew the ambition of a nation
zombies treadin’ on decaying foundation
wasting, creating hostility among us
turning our back on our mother
we’re turning our back on our mother

[chorus]
look at what we’ve done
i remember
i remember
i forgive
i remember
i remember
i remember
i forgive

[verse 2]
these people are relentless, senseless, violent and racist
providing [inspiration?] in my day-to-day, endless
positivity can definitely be contagious
persuasive, cause i’m speaking my truth
i got pennies in my pockets, but i’m picking fresh fruits
yeah, picking fresh fruits
got pennies in my pockets, but i’m picking fresh fruits
yeah, whoa
’cause i live in a land of abundance
where the rain off my roof is sacred and precious
and now we get to work [and be found?] riding horses
enormous with the courage that we like to front
bringin’ it back to the land when there was food to hunt
and yeah, when there was food to hunt
and yeah, oh

[chorus]
i got one last thing on my mind
i remember
i remember
i forgive
i remember
i remember
i remember
i forgive

[verse 3]
i’m learning the language of the planet
we inhabit and stab it with
the chemicals that we practice
and i’ve had it with habits, it’s tragic
this trajectory course that we’re on
separated from the dirt, from ourselves, from the song
every robot sings, with his hand to his heart:
“i will k!ll for god, and i will hit my mark
and i will stand like a fool for three colors of the treason”
n0body’s bombing me, but other countries are weeping
choppin’ the mountains in half
can’t you hear the earth screamin’?
whoaoh, can’t you hear the earth screamin’?
oh
blood oil for dinner, better have an appet-te, yeah
cause we rape, pillage and plunder

[chorus]
so you can heat your house tonight
i remember
i remember
i forgive
i remember
i remember
i remember
i forgive

[bridge]
all my empowered people, put your ones up!
recognize our tribes are independent and restless
searching for purpose beneath the rubble and wreckage
the message: forgiveness starts with me!
yeah! with me!
stop blaming other people, take on the responsibility
of generations to come
may they live in a world without governments and guns
without governments and guns
hey, whoaoh
your people who k!lled my people
my people k!lled your people
but our people are all one people
united by comp-ssion for humanity’s sake
we wake and meditate on the light of a new day
new chapter in the book of a thousand tongues
yeah, a thousand tongues

we shall overcome
i remember
i remember
i forgive

[outro]
yeah, we shall overcome
(we shall overcome)
yeah, we shall overcome
(we shall overcome)
i remember, i remember
(we shall overcome)
i remember, i remember
(we shall overcome)
yeah, we shall overcome
(we shall overcome)
i remember, i remember
(we shall overcome)
ooo yeah, i forgive
(we shall overcome)
i remember, i remember
