No More
I've seen the videos and witnessed what I did not know*unsure
My people suffer the pain that kept them years ago
I've seen the pictures of my Hmong crying out for help
My elders on their knees praying, "God, help us please."
No more no more
Will you suffer no more
For each soul that dies
One is born
Txhob qua txhob qua
So koj lub kua muag
Ua pa ib zaug ntxiv
Ua neeg nyob tsis yooj yim
No more no more
Will you suffer no more
For each soul that dies
One is born
I crossed the river so secretly so they won't know
I climbed the highest mountain just to feel your souls
I will never forget Child dry your tears
You can't see me but I'm there oh
No more no more
Will you suffer no more
For each soul that dies
One is born
I'm going back to the memories that corrupted me*
I can't breathe genocide is on my mind
Taking away all the innocent lives
But you can mess the pain held within the elders' eyes
Living the life ignorant of what it took to survive
But there's still you and me holding on to our opportunity
Tau puag nws hab sib hlub tab si qhov ntawm yeej tsis tsum*
Peb lo cawm neeg ntawm qhov chaws ntsau ntuj
Niam hab txiv yeej ib txwm hais tsis txhob tso pais
Hold on to my roots and keep my pride alive
So I close my eyes and pray and take a side
Cry genefound wish list for better days
All this pain burden onto our shoulders
And every day keeps getting colder
No no no no we won't give up hope
And tomorrow we'll wash away
All the sorrow
All the sorrow
