luke o’shea - happy australia day lyrics
[intro]
hey
[verse 1]
cowboys verse indians, white man verse savages
is what i was shown on tv
i knew more about the world wars, the zulu and the navajo
than i did of my own history
[verse 2]
yes, but as you begin to uncover the sin
you can feel your heart drownin’ in shame
it all starts with a lie we no longer deny
it’s time we all knew your name
[chorus]
so, pemulwuy, are you still fighting?
windradyne, your song we shall sing
for all your senseless sufferin’
truganini, did it mean anything?
for every chain that has bound you
for every child stolen away
well, the river still runs from the same poisoned well
happy australia day
[post_chorus]
australia day (hey)
hey
[verse 3]
well, the wheel, it still turns, but the memory still burns
and there’s still so much more left to write
yeah, but if i am a man who was born on this land
then my history is both black and white
[chorus]
so, yagan, are you still fighting?
jandamarra, your song we shall sing
and for all you absorbed as you travelled the world
bennelong, did it mean anything?
for every shot that was fired
intending to drive you away
well, the river still runs from the same poisoned well
happy australia day
[post_chorus]
australia day
[instrumental]
[bridge]
let the truth fill the sp_ce in between us
replacing the blame and the fear
and what we must learn first, we are better than our worst
and respect for each other starts here
so why celebrate this great nation
on a day that insults and divides?
for, regardless of clan, well, we all love this land
find a way where we stand unified
[chorus]
charlie perkins, i’ll stand beside you
uncle jimmy, your song i shall sing
and for all your selfless suffering
mum shirl, well, i feel everything
and for every right that’s denied us
for our children who were stolen away
well, everyone drinks from the same poisoned well
and it’s time that we all shared the pain
yes, everyone drinks from the same poisoned well
happy australia day
[post_chorus]
australia day (hey)
hey
