ancestors - henry loukes lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
we know
this “choice” is not a choice we made
we know
our souls were not always forbade
told to submit just like you
but what to?
our blank canvas is condemned
by your excuse of allegiance to a crowd
of people whom mother would not be proud

[chorus]
so take me in stride
our ancestors lied
heathens aren’t as you’ve been taught
nor would they care
if you said a prayer
true nature is not an afterthought

[verse 2]
we’re built
from purity and natural seed
no guilt
our oppressors will concede
the good will break free from their enchainment
it’s only natural (it’s only natural)
[chorus]
so take me in stride
our ancestors lied
heathens aren’t as you’ve been taught
nor would they care
if you said a prayer
true nature is not an afterthought

[break]
(ooh)

[bridge]
dear mother
was our freedom only self*contrived?
‘cause sometimes it feels like
i don’t deserve to feel pride
or is it tradition that lied?

[break]
ealdmodor, ic gehyre þe cweðan
ealdmodor, ic gehyre þe cweðan
ealdmodor, ic gehyre þe cweðan
gecynd clipað (ah)

[chorus]
so take me in stride
mother knows our ancestors lied
we will embrace
all of the human race
one ocean forms every coast’s tides
take me in stride (take me in stride)
our ancestors lied
mother knows our ancestors lied
we will not judge
but do not hold a grudge
because we offer you a sp*ce to confide
