lyrics

VERSE 1: Gm Dm / Gm Dm / Gm Dm / Gm Dm / 4x
If there's 100,000 people standing on the rock
people are gonna talk. People are gonna talk
That's 96,000 more than the people who are there.
4,000 is a start, they come from everywhere

Actresses and Actors, famous superstars
Now we really got you, to help the word go far
Leaders of the world. You know your power's strong
Use it for the good. And right this nasty wrong

And as the media doesn't do its job, we open up our mouths
Each and every one of us can be a peaceful power house
We are all protectors of this sacred land
Though mainstream music and TV is dead, we can take a stand.

CHORUS: Gm / Dm / Gm / Dm / Gm / Dm / Gm / Dm /
There is strength in Numbers
There is power in a crowd
Let's Unite with each other
Let's say it very loud

Gm / Dm / Gm / Dm / Gm / Dm / Dm / Gm /
We are standing for the standing rock
We are singing to protect it
We are standing for the standing rock
We are peace and joy digest it

Gm / Dm / Gm / Dm / Gm / Dm / Dm / Gm /
We are women of the valley
We are fathers of the sky
We are children of the water
We can't let this pass us by

VERSE 2:
If there's 100,000 people standing on the rock
people are gonna talk. People are gonna talk
That's 96,000 more than the people who are there.
4,000 is a start, they come from everywhere

The land is protected as native land
STOP digging up their graves
Who do you think you are
Stop treating us like slaves

Armed forces and machines
Are bullying our friends
We cannot just stand by
or justice as we know it ends

CHORUS:
There is strength in Numbers
There is power in a crowd
Let's Unite with each other
Let's say it very loud

We are standing for the standing rock
We are singing to protect it
We are standing for the standing rock
We are peace and joy digest it

We are women of the valley
We are fathers of the sky
We are children of the water
We can't let this pass us by

BRIDGE: Cm / F / Gm / Gm
and in this very moment
the universe it starts
and in this very moment
we're singing with our hearts

and in this very moment, we find our inner voices
that like to sing with peace and hope, acknowledging the better choices

there are two sides to this
the bully and the innocent
and so we stand our ground
compassion strong in our intent

and in this very moment
the universe it starts

Gm / Cm / F / Gm / 3x

creation, creation, the creation of the universe is standing rock

instrumental….. Heya…. everyone!!!!

VERSE 3:
We're 100,000 people standing for the rock
We stand with standing rock. WE Stand with Standing rock
We're millions of billions of humans standing like a rock
staying with our hearts - stronger than any lock.

CHORUS again starting with these words and then these words between each of the other words so these words are sung three times at least in the last chorus:

Gm / Dm / Gm / Dm / Gm / Dm / Dm / Gm /
We are standing for the standing rock
We are singing to protect it
We are standing for the standing rock
We are peace and joy digest it
And so we claim our land digest it
Now you have to go digest it
We are peace and love digest it

The DAPL, which would cross unceded Indigenous territory, is a direct violation of the sovereign rights and culture of the Standing Rock Sioux. The fast-track process of approval disregarded key U.S. legislation, including the Clean Water Act, the National Environmental Policy Act, and the National Historic Preservation Act. No proper environmental impact study was performed, and no consultation was sought from the indigenous community.
