we were all wanderers

 we were all wanderers 

settled in a land 

in gratitude we told 'god gave this land.'

we forgot the journey, 

forgot the fear we knew; 

our privilege became the holy right.

we were all wanderers 

there are only early settlers

once we got power 

we chased others away 

"it is our land," we said.

it is evil, it is crime, it is sin 

to kill, to chase,

 we are killing the smile of the world.

we are killing the smile of the world. 

and in our hearts' own ground, 

the gratitude is dead,

the gratitude is dead. .

We called ourselves holy 

and sanctified the crime.

justified inhumanity.

our conscience is dead,

because we served not God,

but selfishness, power, and arrogance

we served nationalism, not god.

 we are killing the smile of the world.

we are killing the smile of the world. 

we are killing the smile of the world. 

and in our hearts' own ground, 

the gratitude is dead,

the gratitude is dead. . 

we were all wanderers.
