Forty days I stared you down Forty days I held my ground You could not take me You could not break me Forty days I hungered there Forty days I thirsted there You could not fill me You could not thrill me
Forty days of dust and pain Forty days in wait you lay But you could not chain me Spirit sustains me
Forty days you tempted me Forty days you tested me I would not give in I won’t stop fightin’ For my sisters and my brothers For my sisters and my brothers
You cannot take them You cannot break them You cannot take them You cannot break them
