Composed in solidarity with the Standing Rock movement, after witnessing the horrendous treatment exacted by mercenaries and police, on peaceful demonstrators, as they stood in prayer to protect the water.
The Chorus is inspired by the wisdom of Chase Iron Eyes
lyrics
WHEN PEACE HOLDS IT’S GROUND (c) Justine Bradley
Young runners take a message
To ignite their cause
With prayer and with burning love
Standing Rock is born
Hand in hand, heart to heart
To weather every storm
When greed and hate and brutal force
When fierce the blizzard bites
When faced with cruel atrocities
Met with peaceful prayers
Hand in hand
Heart to heart
The sacred fire burns
To change the course of destiny
True power will emerge
From Peace that stands it’s ground
Peace that holds its ground
The spark of love rekindling
This fire in all hearts
When seventh generations
And rainbow warriors
Join hand in hand,
Heart to heart
The message will unite
To change the course of destiny
True power will emerge
From Peace that stands it’s ground
Peace that holds its ground
