Laura-Marie River Victor Nopales So skillfully this track expresses the love that compels so many of us to the test site, where we put our bodies where our values are, to resist nuclear destruction. This song helped me find my voice and learn more deeply why I choose to be present with my activism. I'll always be grateful for this profound expression of the complexity of nonviolence and the rich emotions of that truth. Resistance takes a lot of energy, and this song helps me gather my energy.

lyrics

Present

We are here
giving lie to your battles.
We are here
bodies ready to cross the line.
We are here
to save ourselves from grieving .
We are here
holding hands and looking in your obscured eyes.

Take off your helmets
remove your guns
Take these handcuffs off of me
Don't you love these holy places
just as much as we?

We are here
to end your testing.
We are here
to help things grow again.
We are here
ancestors lined up behind.
We are here
to stop the slavery of lying and the killing of old trees.

Lay down your shields
Peel off your armor
Take these handcuffs off of me
Don't you cherish sun and water,
just as much as we?

We are here
to ensure freedom.
We are here
to give the poor a voice.
We are here
because we must be.
We are here
the power of love and peace is running through.

Come here and hold me
I will listen
Take these handcuffs off of me
I am conscious you are fearful
just as much as we!

we are here/take off your helmets
We are here/peel off yr armor
We are here/ready to listen
we are here/hold out your hand and cross the line...
