CAm
because it was sacred, because it was home
CFsus2G/C
because these were feelings, from so long ago
CAm
they listened to the spirits, that came up strong
CG/CC
they all pulled together, to sing their song
Am
this is how they did it, spears by their side
CFsus2G/C
they stood on the mountain, for their land rights
CAm
all the people noticed, the movement took flight
GC
they said this is our home, these are our rights
GC
this is our home, these are our rights
Am
country it was taken, land dug up
CFsus2G/C
families were broken, spirits were crushed
CAm
the language that was silenced, is now free to be passed
CG/CC
the cup that was empty, is slowly filling up
Am
so we can pull together, show our children it is time
GC
you see, this is our home, these are our rights
GC
this is our home, there are our rights
GC
this is our home, there are our rights
