the coming of the whiteman - xit lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
as i look into the distance
i can see a big white canoe
with a strange looking people
and i hid myself from view
and i watched as they stepped upon the sh0r-

[verse 2]
as i came a little closer
i could see their skin was white
and the drums were getting louder
as their faces filled with fright
as we rushed down to greet them on the sh0r-

[verse 3]
as we stood among them laughing
not knowing what our fate would be
they appeared to be friendly
but our land filled their eyes with greed
and our freedom was gone from us forever

[verse 4]
we shared so many secrets
and taught them to live off the land
they were determined to take over
we had to fight to save our land
they broke treaties and took our happiness away

[instrumental]

[verse 5]
it was disease and starvation
that made our people finally fall
and not bullets from the whiteman
that made us surrender at all

[verse 6]
they gave us our first taste of sin
and brought so much shame into our life
we knew our culture was destroyed
when we were forced to live a new life
and put on a reservation to fade away

[outro]
go away whiteman, this is our land
go away whiteman, this is our land
go away whiteman, this is our land
go away whiteman, this is our land
go away whiteman, this is our land
go away whiteman, this is our land
go away whiteman, this is our land
go away whiteman, this is our land
