Lyrics Moon Meets the Sun - Our Native Daughters, Amythyst Kiah, Rhiannon Giddens

Moon Meets the Sun

When the day is done
The moon meets the sun
We’ll be dancing
When the day is done
The moon meets the sun
We’ll be dancing
You put the shackles on our feet
But we’re dancing
You steal our very tongue
But we’re dancing
Brown girl in the ring
Raise your voice and sing
Sing us solace
Sing us freedom
Hold us steady
Keep us breathing
We’ll endure this
You can’t stop us
And we’re dancing
You steal our children
But we’re dancing
You make us hate our very skin
But we’re dancing
We’re your sons
We’re your daughters
But you sell us
Down the river
May the God
That you gave us
Forgive you
Your trespasses
We’re survivors
You can’t stop us
And we’re dancing
When the day is done
The moon meets the sun
We’ll be dancing
When the day is done
The moon meets the sun
We’ll be dancing
Like the rabbit
We won’t bend to your will
Like the spider
The smallest will still prevail
The stories of our elders
We find comfort in these
We smile to the sky
We move to stay alive
And we’re dancing
You steal our work for your profit
But we’re dancing
You think our home we have forgotten
But we’re dancing
Step into the circle
Step into the ring
Raise your voice and sing
Sing freedom
Sing freedom
You can’t stop us now
You can’t keep us down
We’ll be dancing
When the day is done
The moon meets the sun
We’ll be dancing
When the day is done
The moon meets the sun
We’ll be dancing
You can’t stop us now (We'll be dancing)
You can’t keep us down (We'll be dancing)
You can’t stop us now (We'll be dancing)
You can’t keep us down (We'll be dancing)
You can’t stop us now (We'll be dancing)
You can’t keep us down (We'll be dancing)
You can’t stop us now
You can’t keep us down
You can’t stop us now (We'll be dancing)
You can’t keep us down (We'll be dancing)
You can’t stop us now (We'll be dancing)
You can’t keep us down (We'll be dancing)
You can’t keep us down (We'll be dancing)
You can’t keep us down (We'll be dancing)
You can’t keep us down (We'll be dancing)
