Forty Days

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
