Rock The Boat
Ben Liebrand Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I believe in the power of American natives
Untamed people in an untouched land
With pride in their culture and pride in their clan
(you know it) didn't take long before the world got around
First come first serve just take what you found
They fought for their world and they paid with their lives
The eagle flies across a blood red sky
Remind you of the past and brings tears to your eyes
I believe in the power of American natives
I believe in the power of American natives
The lyrics to Ben Liebrand's song "Rock The Boat" express a deep faith in the strength and resilience of the indigenous peoples of America. The singer celebrates the natural beauty and richness of their culture and heritage, contrasting it with the destructive forces of colonialism and exploitation that have sought to uproot and despoil their way of life.
The opening lines express the singer's conviction in the power of this ancient and resilient people, with their deep connection to the land and their storied history of survival against overwhelming odds. The second verse delves deeper into the struggles that the native peoples have faced, both historically and in the present day, with their pride and dignity bruised but never broken. The reference to the eagle flying across a blood-red sky is a poignant reminder of the injustices and suffering that have been inflicted upon them, even as they continue to fight for their rights and their place in the world.

I believe in the power of American natives
I have faith in the strength and ability of the native peoples of America
Untamed people in an untouched land
The native people were wild and free in their pristine environment
With pride in their culture and pride in their clan
The natives were proud of their customs and heritage, as well as their family ties
(you know it) didn't take long before the world got around
News about the native people and their way of life spread quickly
First come first serve just take what you found
Those who arrived first took whatever resources they found, without regard for the natives
They fought for their world and they paid with their lives
The natives defended their land and culture fiercely, even to the point of sacrificing their lives
Stood proud until the end in the face of all those lies
Despite the deceit and falsehoods spread about them, the natives remained strong and defiant until the end
The eagle flies across a blood red sky
The symbol of America reminds us of the violent conflicts that occurred between the native people and European settlers
Remind you of the past and brings tears to your eyes
Reflecting on this history can be emotional and heart-wrenching.
I believe in the power of American natives
Again, I believe in the capability and strength of the native people of America
