🎵 Verse 1 I was born on this hill, olive trees in my hand My father’s bones rest in this land But they build their walls, they draw their lines Say my home ain’t theirs, though it’s always been mine 🎶 Chorus I got the right, the right to stay But they push me out more every day I bled, I prayed, I made this mine Now I sing for my place, one line at a time 🎵 Verse 2 They come with guns, they come with stone Take my roof, leave me alone But I got roots deeper than their claim And I won’t forget my father’s name 🎶 Chorus (Repeat) I got the right, the right to stay But they push me out more every day I bled, I prayed, I made this mine Now I sing for my place, one line at a time 🎵 Verse 3 They call it law, they call it fate But I see theft behind that gate I plant my hope in the soil they steal And I cry to the sky for what’s real 🎵 Bridge (Spoken, over slide guitar and soft percussion) This land don’t lie, this land don’t cheat It knows my footsteps, it knows my beat And if they bury me to take my place My soul will rise from this sacred space 🎶 Final Chorus (Slow & Soulful) I got the right, the right to stay But they push me out more every day I bled, I prayed, I made this mine Now I sing for my place… one line at a time
