because it was sacred, because it was home
|
because these were feelings, from so long ago
|
they listened to the spirits, that came up strong
|
they all pulled together, to sing their song
|
|
this is how they did it, spears by their side
|
they stood on the mountain, for their land rights
|
all the people noticed, the movement took flight
|
they said this is our home, these are our rights
|
this is our home, these are our rights
|
|
country it was taken, land dug up
|
families were broken, spirits were crushed
|
the language that was silenced, is now free to be passed
|
the cup that was empty, is slowly filling up
|
|
so we can pull together, show our children it is time
|
you see, this is our home, these are our rights
|
this is our home, there are our rights
|
this is our home, there are our rights
|
