lyrics

it was the words she didn’t say
she sang the sun down, everyday
into the silence, shouting
and when they came to move her
she was a mountain

It was compromise she wouldn’t make
sowing resistance, everyday
with every seed planted,
they couldn't move her
because she was a mountain

oh, Katherine get your gun
oh, Roberta sing your song
oh, Pauline cut the wire
oh, Mae start the fire

in this earth we are made
so we never really go, away
its part of us that is buried, so we always return
back to our mother earth

oh, Katherine get your gun
oh, Roberta sing your song
oh, Pauline cut the wire
oh, Alice will keep the fire
and we will keep the fire
