They came and took my wife away
\nand my pain inside did grow
\nit festered every moment
\nmy spirit became low
\nI couldn’t live without her
\nmy life force was in doubt
\nthey took away my family
\nand what I was about<\/p>\n
they took away my family
\nmy Nation and my soul
\nthey told me kneel down brother
\nwe are in control
\nthey took away my freedom
\nmy love they took it all
\nand now my broken spirit
\nis up against their wall<\/p>\n
when they took away my family
\nthey took away my soul
\nthey took away the land I loved
\nin fact they came and stole
\nevery bit of money
\nmy spirit and my love
\nand now they want my weapons
\nthe great god up above<\/p>\n
I have no way of knowing
\nwhat is now to become
\nof all my lovely children
\nI am now almost numb
\nby what I see around me
\nby what I hear and know
\ncrying with the angels
\nour ancestors on show<\/p>\n
the evil it is everywhere
\nthe final tragedy
\nwe were the first people
\nwe looked after the earth
\nwe love her as our mother
\nwe knew of her great worth
\nthese others they have little sense
\nof priority for they
\nhave wasted and have plundered
\nit all and made us pay<\/p>\n
they are now, taking our weapons
\ntheir threats to us are dire
\nmy face must show my feelings
\nfor our nation is on fire
\nthey are killing all our animals
\nthe wolves and the Buffalo
\nnothing gets any respect
\nand there’s nothing left to show<\/p>\n
for all the years of struggle
\nfor all the years of pain
\nsubjected to their rule of law
\nour nation didn’t gain
\nanything we lost it all
\nthey took it all away
\nand now they want our blood as well
\nand so to them I say<\/p>\n
the nation I belong to
\nis out there in the sky
\na million valiant warriors
\nriding now on high
\nwe will never bow down
\nto those of you who feel
\ndestruction is the only way
\nand we will never kneel<\/p>\n
on this stolen wasted ground
\nour hearts are in the sky
\nwe are with the eagles
\nwe are now prepared to fly<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
