Lyrics
(Intro)

(Verse 1)
Standing on the sidewalk but it’s not for standing on
They say you’re standing wrong
They say to leave this place
Here, the homeland of your ancestors
This place you have a right to
This place you came tonight to be a person in a crowd

(pre chorus)
Here, in this place

(Chorus)
Hands off, stand down
Respect the land you stand on
Step back, look up
See the history your town was built on
There is a past that led us here, and it matters
It matters
(Turn around/ instrumental)

(Verse 2)
You in uniform who hold their power over
Targeting the people you surely should protect
Landing blows that sting with history
If the government did this to me
Who would I trust?

(Pre Chorus)
Who would I trust?

(Chorus)
Hands off, stand down
Respect the land you stand on
Step back, look up
See the history your town was built on
There is a past that led us here, and it matters

(turn around/instrumental)
It matters
