Lyrics

SONG FOR RHONDA
Composed by Jen De Ness 1992

Verse
When I see you lady lately,
feel so worried I could cry.
I can see it by your eyes
you’re fighting the bitterness
Deep down inside.
Every slash of the White man’s whip
has cut you to the Core

Chorus
But you can sing your pain and sorrow
And dance your anger too
Your family roots go so deep and strong
They’ll never touch that part of you
Your family roots go so deep and strong
They’ll never touch that part of you

Verse 2
I know that you’ve endured pain and atrocities before
this most recent sin,
wearing’ your hope thin.
I know, I know you can’t take much anymore.
I know you can’t take much anymore.

Chorus
But you can sing your pain and sorrow
And dance your anger too
Your family roots go so deep and strong
They’ll never touch that part of you
Your family roots go so deep and strong
They’ll never touch that part of you.
