lyrics

Famine in the land
no more hiding in the sand
no more fearing to do the thing
that everyone wants me to
I’m just a jailer nothing’s new

This could be the fertile
dawning bright century
the end of punishers
exploiters of the land
daughter hold my hand

I had the key I had the key
why didn’t I ever set them all free?
I had the choice I knew the deed
that called to me so often called to me

famine in the roots
no more stomping in boots
no more key its left my hand
my sons and daughter understand

Now is your moment
now is given but once
now its you who’s heard this tale
I wonder if you’ll also fail

you got the key you got the key
set them all free you heard it from me

you take the key you make the choice
you have the thoughts you have the voice

set us all free set us all free
you got the key you are the key
