Standing Rock Lyrics
To the east and west, to the north and south
Warrior, warrior
Gather every child, Baba needs yah now
Warrior, warrior
Suits are moving in just to get there dollar
Treaties being broken no respect of honor
Listen close my friend, this is happening
Warrior, warrior
If you are a rock, stand up like a mountain
Rise up from the earth, one love one blessing
I know that we are strong in spirit
If you are the righteous hear it
If you are a rock stand up like a mountain
Burn the sage and cedar, spirit is the leader
Warrior, warrior
Clouds are getting heavy, thunder beams are ready
Warrior, warrior
Where the oil spills we can not drink the water
Seven generations of the sons and daughters
Gather all your friends, this is happening
Warrior, warrior
If you are a rock
Stand up like a mountain
Rise up from the earth, one love one message
I know that we are strong in spirit
If you are the righteous hear it
If you are a rock, stand up like mountain
Water is life, life from the water
Water is life, elders they taught us
Water is life, life from the water
If you are a rock, stand up like a mountain
Rise up from the earth, one love one message
I know that we are strong in spirit
If you are the righteous hear it
If you are a rock, stand up like mountain
Warrior, warrior
Gather every child, Baba needs yah now
Warrior, warrior
Suits are moving in just to get there dollar
Treaties being broken no respect of honor
Listen close my friend, this is happening
Warrior, warrior
If you are a rock, stand up like a mountain
Rise up from the earth, one love one blessing
I know that we are strong in spirit
If you are the righteous hear it
If you are a rock stand up like a mountain
Burn the sage and cedar, spirit is the leader
Warrior, warrior
Clouds are getting heavy, thunder beams are ready
Warrior, warrior
Where the oil spills we can not drink the water
Seven generations of the sons and daughters
Gather all your friends, this is happening
Warrior, warrior
If you are a rock
Stand up like a mountain
Rise up from the earth, one love one message
I know that we are strong in spirit
If you are the righteous hear it
If you are a rock, stand up like mountain
Water is life, life from the water
Water is life, elders they taught us
Water is life, life from the water
If you are a rock, stand up like a mountain
Rise up from the earth, one love one message
I know that we are strong in spirit
If you are the righteous hear it
If you are a rock, stand up like mountain

This song is about a pipeline being built in the north of the United States. It is about "standing like a mountain" against it. "To the east and west to the north and south" he is saying not only a select group come and help. He is saying everyone. "Suits are coming in just to get there dollar, treaties being broken no respect of honor" is talking about the pipeline cutting right through sacred burial grounds of native Americans living there just. "Where the oil spills we cannot drink the water" this is pretty self explanatory but it is saying the water that is touched in the rivers by the pipeline is no longer clean. It's overall a song promoting people to help keep the pipeline out.
Touched by the oil* not the pipeline
