Won't Be Satisfied
Rising Above: A Anthem of Unyielding Hope
Lyrics
we have seen mercy rise up like a mountain
We have witnessed mercy rising prominently, like a mountain.
we have seen a mountain settle into sea
We have observed a mountain settling gracefully into the sea.
we have seen the sea swallow up a thousand
We have seen the sea engulfing a multitude of things.
we have seen a thousand rise in victory
We have seen a thousand entities rising triumphantly.
we won't be satisfied
We refuse to settle or find contentment.
sing the children, the children
We, the children, proclaim this refusal.
we won't be satisfied
We persist in our dissatisfaction.
sing the children of the land
The children of the land join in this declaration.
we have seen clouds that brought no water
We have witnessed clouds that did not bring rain.
we have seen water fought over in vain
We have seen conflicts over water that were ultimately futile.
many times in vain we have listened for the thunder
Repeated efforts have been made to hear the thunder, anticipating rain.
many times the thunder still brought no rain
Despite the anticipation, the thunder did not bring rain many times.
but we won't be satisfied
We are not content; our dissatisfaction persists.
sing the children, the children
The children, again, vocalize their refusal to be satisfied.
we won't be satisfied
We continue in our discontentment.
sing the children of the land
The children of the land echo this sentiment.
we will not be a tree that bears no fruit
We refuse to be unproductive like a tree without fruit.
and we will not be a fruit that is bitter in it's taste
We refuse to be a fruit that is unpleasant in taste.
we will not be a tree that bears no fruit
Reiteration of the refusal to be a fruitless tree.
and we will not be fruit that is bitter in it's taste
Reiteration of the refusal to be an unpleasant-tasting fruit.
and we won't be satisfied
We will not find satisfaction.
sing the children, the children
Once again, the children voice their determination.
we won't be satisfied
The persistent discontentment remains.
sing the children of the land
The children of the land resound this commitment.
