no one's slave i am
no one's master
no one's slave i am
no one's master
on my grave they will
write this after i am gone
i will be gone
and my flesh will go to the earth it lived on
breath will go to the air it lived from
i am through with the pain of my lying
had my fill of the [bad word] and crying
paid my dues
in the land where the dying desert grows
& now i know
i am looking out for a new perspective
listening out for a new directive
going back to the land of my mothers
i will walk with my sisters and brothers
we will share what is good for each other in our love
it is a love
it is a love that brings you the invitation
listen now to my invocation
mother earth i was nearly the end of you
please accept my desire to be friends with you
now i know just how much i depend on you for life
you are my life
you are that life that grows in the flesh i'm weaving
life that blows in the air i'm breathing
i'm as strong as a tree on a mountain
free and full as a fresh flowing fountain
bright and clear as the stars beyond
shining in the night
i am that light
i am the light that shines in a million people
in my sight every life is equal
no one's slave i am no ones master
no one's slave i am no one's master
on my grave
they will write this
after i am gone
i will be gone
