Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Stranger to the land

Feet they touch the sand

Ending up in line

Trying to make time

Couldn’t help but notice

Steps upon the path

Streets are full of faces

Family from the past

[Chorus]

Then a march one two

Two step to step to the right

One two

Then a hop to fight to fly in flight

Too right

Then a march one two

Two step to step to the right

One two

Then a hop to fight to fly in flight

Too right

[Chorus]

Them say who we are

Na so we be oh

Them say who we are

This is who we are

Them say who we are

Na so we be oh

Them say who we are

This is who we are

[Verse 2]

Don’t tell me to stay in one place and play

Only takes a tree planted by the lord

Gonna take a step

Starting with one foot

Not part of the plot

But still part of the root

[Chorus]

Them say who we are

Na so we be oh

Them say who we are

This is who we are

Them say who we are

Na so we be oh

Them say who we are

This is who we are

[Chorus]

Then a march one two

Two step to step to right

One two

Then a hop to fight to fly in flight

Too right

[Chorus]

Then a march one two

Two step to step to right

One two

Then a hop to fight to fly in flight

Too right

[Chorus]

Them say who we are

Na so we be ohhh

Them say who we are

This is who we are

Them say who we are

Na so we be ohhh

Them say who we are

This is who we are

[Outro]

We are, we are, we are, we are

We ye oh

We are, we are, we are, we are

We ye

We are, we are, we are, we are

We ye oh

We are, we are, we are, we are

We ye oh

We are, we are, we are, we are

We ye

We are, we are, we are, we are

We ye oh

[Outro]

We are, we ye

We are, we ye

We are, we ye

We are, we ye

We are, we ye

We are, we ye

We are, we ye

We are, we ye
