[Music: D.Gildenlow]



'The white man, he comes and goes. He can go. ...But that's our homeland for

thousands of years. That's our home, and we will never leave. No matter how

contaminated it gets. We live there! We have always lived there and we will

always live there.'  



This is our home - our roots go deep  

Where our ancestors sleep  

This is the land we've nursed for countless aeons  

But never ours to keep   

My tribe is crying - our land is dying  

But we can't leave - this is our home  

We can't let our past go...   



We're left with your legacy  

Wide awake, deep at our roots  

While you move on exploiting  

We'll sing lullabies for half a million years   



When my son asks why, what will I reply?  

But we can't leave - this is our home  

We can't let our past go...

But we can't leave - this is our home!  

If you like concrete alone  

Then don't make your high lives depend  

On that past that you let go...
