First they stole our bodies (I can cry no more)
Then they stole our sons
Then they stole our God
And gave us a new one
Then they stole our beauty
The comfort in our skins
Then they gave us duty
And they gave us sin
And then came Generations
That helped to build this land
The bedrock of a nation
Was laid with these brown hands
The solace of a people
Was found with that new god
And many peaceful steeples
Would guard the road we trod
Then they stole our solace
And then they stole our peace
With countless acts of malice
And hatred without cease
A foul and dirty river
Runs through this sacred land
With every act of terror
They tell us where we stand
500 years of poison
500 years of grief
500 years of reason
To weep with disbelief
The legacy is mighty (We can cry no more)
We can’t carry this alone
You have to help us fight it
Then together we’ll be home
Then together we’ll be home
Then together we’ll be home.
(We can cry no more!)
