If we want to be seen as an equal
If we want to be free as a people
Then plant the seeds
Plant the seeds
Plant the seeds

Back in the day we used to raise our maize
Planting the seeds and feeding up the people (as an equal)
Today my boys grow to be strong men
I teach by example, they break the cycles of oppression (if we want to be free)
Their gifts to my world, as I witness their actions (if we want to be free)
I see their kindness, respectfulness and old soul wisdom (if we want to be free)
With my lover and I grounded nothing can stop us (if we want to be free)
Our family is the circle pushing out with the collective

Plant the seeds
Plant the seeds
Plant the seeds (plant the seeds)
Plant the seeds (plant the seeds)
Plant the seeds (plant the seeds)
Plant the seeds

Our ideas are oceans and reality tows us in
So if we want to make a change we must learn how to swim again (as an equal)
To understand the water is to understand the sun
And to ignite our power we must collect to the power of one (if we want to be free)
Cultivating our freedom through responsible awareness (if we want to be free)
And by turning up the soil, we seed our dreams and bury resentment (if we want to be free)
The reason why Onkwehonwe plant the traditional way (if we want to be free)
Is to harvest our decisions to revolutionize each day

Plant the seeds
Plant the seeds
Plant the seeds (oh, plant the seeds)
Plant the seeds (oh, plant the seeds)
Plant the seeds (oh, plant the seeds)
Plant the seeds (oh, plant the seeds)
Plant the seeds (oh, plant the seeds)
Plant the seeds
Plant the seeds

If we want to be seen as an equal
If we want to be free as a people
Then plant the seeds
Plant the seeds
Plant the seeds
