stolen land - chris bottomley lyrics
[verse 1]
from tierra del fuego to ungava bay
the history of betrayal continues to today
the spirit of almighty voice
the ghost of anna mae
call like thunder from the mountains
you can hear them say
[refrain]
it’s a stolen land
stolen land
[verse 2]
apartheid in arizona, slaughter in brazil
if bullets don’t get good pr there’s other ways to k!ll
kidnap all your children
put ’em in a foreign system
bring ’em up in no man’s land
where no one really wants them
[refrain]
it’s a stolen land
it’s a stolen land
[chorus]
it’s a stolen land—but it’s all we’ve got
stolen land—and there’s no going back
stolеn land—and we’ll never forgеt
stolen land—and we’re not through yet
[verse 3]
in my mind i catch a picture—black raven in the sky
looking at the ocean—reflected in black eye
sail as white as heroin
white like weathered bones
rum and guns and smallpox
gonna change the face of home
[refrain]
in this stolen land
stolen land
[verse 4]
if you’re like me you’d like to think we’ve learned from our mistakes
enough to know we can’t play god with others’ lives at stake
so now we’ve all discovered
the world wasn’t only made for whites
what steps are you gonna take
to try to set things right
[refrain]
in this stolen land?
stolen land
[chorus]
stolen land—and it’s all we’ve got
stolen land—and there’s no going back
stolen land—we’ll never forget
stolen land—and we’re not through yet
stolen land—and it’s all we’ve got
stolen land—and there’s no going back
stolen land—we’ll never forget
stolen land—and we’re not through yet
[post*chorus]
stolen land
stolen land
stolen land
stolen land
