Ona Move
Dedicated to those
slain in the fire from sky
To the men, women and
children who did die
By the hands of wicked
men insane
May their sacrifice
not be in vain
Pale invaders from across the sea
Democracy, we shall be free?
The Earth echoes with their cries
Mother mourns lamenting their lies
Red men in peace and harmony understood
To serve the Creator we must do good
A brutal winter to survive
Indians in Love kept them alive
And to repay the kindness done
Each pilgrim picked up a gun
And to those not blown away
Gotta move gotta move this day
All in God’s name
Evil they proclaim
It’s a shame
Still I insist and say
Ona Move Ona Move this day
Arrogant minds lusting for power
A darkness of scourge to devour
Men stolen from African home
Chained on ships to terrors unknown
Victims of a diabolical plan
Beasts of burden transformed from man
Beaten, bound upon fields of cotton
Agonies the system insists be forgotten
And when the chains of iron fell
Chattel slavery deformed to a different hell
No forty acres and a mule
A little better but still infinitely cruel
The master of the opulent plantation
Shares no wealth only tales of salvation
So to those emancipated as they earnestly pray
Gotta move gotta move this day
All in God’s name
Evil they proclaim
It’s a shame
Still I insist and say
Ona Move Ona Move this day
From history that makes no sense
A hypothetical pretense
That we have an unalienable right
To say and do as we might
So we gather, build and organize
What we create they come to despise
For tyrants live in castles of sand
To be washed away when we understand
So John Africa with brilliant mind
Opened his eyes to truths to find
That the government is a slave to money
And humanity is robbed by technology
So to flourish we should live simple
And forsake the nonsense that clutters the soul
Yet darkness seeks to extinguish light
In
Until in the city of brotherly love
They dropped a bomb from the sky above
Only Ramona and a child to survive
But from the ashes the dream stays alive
When you kill with a uniform its okay?
Gotta move gotta move this day
All in God’s name
Evil they proclaim
It’s a shame
Still I insist and say
Ona Move Ona Move this day
They lie about everything under the sun
Especially the evil they have done
Still there is something to prove
Ona Move Ona Move
Move from hate
Move from useless debate
Move from science
Move from technological reliance
Move from greed
Move I plead
Move indeed
Move from war
Move from
I’ll say it once more
For I am sure
There is something to prove
Ona Move Ona Move
Move to peace
Move to release
Move to being kind
Move to free our mind
Move to see
Move to being free
Move to God above
Most of all Move to Love
There is something to prove
Ona Move Ona Move
When we Move in this land
When we come to understand
Wicked powers will die
Empty demons tossed from the sky
I cannot Move for you
It’s something we all must do
Be true
And know in all we go through
Love will renew
Love will renew
Love will renew
There is something to prove
Ona Move Ona Move
Darkness shall decay
Ona Move Ona Move this day
No force shall make us stray
Ona Move Ona Move this day
For we too come in God’s name
We too have a message to proclaim
Our prophecies are not the same
We do not blame
Come the sun, see it rise
Look with your own eyes
Dawn’s first ray
Ona Move Ona Move this day
Night is turning to day
Ona Move that’s what we all say
Ona Move Ona Move this day
Prove what we got to prove
Ona Move
