Justice For Jason Pero

Only fourteen, so very young
His life just begun
Justice for Jason Pero
Justice for Jason Pero

To come home with the flu
Then with two shots his life his through
Justice for Jason Pero
Justice for Jason Pero

With the force of the wind
We rise again

Tell me who has the right
To take a child’s life
Justice for Jason Pero
Justice for Jason Pero

Little singer of the drum
He never hurt anyone
Justice for Jason Pero
Justice for Jason Pero

To protect, to defend
Our way of life we rise again

Together we are family
Bad River Anishinaabe
Justice for Jason Pero
Justice for Jason Pero

As a healer, as a friend
Through Jason’s love
We rise again

To protect, to defend
Children of earth
We rise again

With the force of the wind
Gitche Manitou
We rise again
Gitche Manitou
We rise again
