lyrics

Occupo. Occupare. Occupate.
Justus ut palma florebit.
Occupy the land.
The earth is the Lord's and all that is in it,
All the world, and those who live in it,
For he has founded it on the seas and established it on the rivers.
Occupare.
Justi hereditabunt terram.
Who shall ascend the hill of the Lord?
And who shall stand in his holy place?
Those who have clean hands and pure hearts.
Occupy the land.
You shall not pollute the land in which you live.
Occupo. Occupare. Occupate. Occupa.
Justus ut palma florebit.
A generation comes
A generation goes,
But the earth remains forever.
All streams run to the sea.
Justus ut palma florebit.
Occupate.
Abide in a peaceful habitation.
Abide in peace.
