lyrics

Is the water clear in the West Virginia rivers?
Is the water clear at the Summerville dam?
Is the water clear from the spring on Friar's Hill?
Is the water clear?

Is the water clear in all the Michigan households?
Is the water clear in the Dakota fields?
And is the water clear in the refugee's life boat?
Is the water clear?

Well I know, you know that the water's not clear,
and we know we gotta go bring the power back here.
Well the sunshine, the moonlight as the days pass and we rise.
When your courage, grit, and love fit—the passion,
the power, the future allower you hold in your hands.

Is the air clear in the Syrian skyline?
Is the air clear in the clouds above New Delhi?
Is the air clear when you breathe in in Gaza?
Is the air clear?

Is the air clear in the Appalachian mountains?
Is the air clear in the White House in D.C.?
Is the air clear in the Detroit inner city?
Is the air clear?

Are we clear that we’ll labour ’til we’re weary?
Are we clear that we’ll labour ’til we're one?
Are we clear that we love you like we’re brothers?
Are we clear?
