Their Land

They roamed the earth but we settled in

We built houses on their meadows

Renamed their homes federal

Their land is our land

 

They spread their love with the grass

We covered the sky in gas

They gave respect to the rocks

We built large walls and sold stocks

 

Fishing for what they need 

We hunted the river with greed

Suffocated their rights

Until they couldn’t fight

We became fools

Putting generations in schools

Buried their culture along with their bones

Covered their past in concrete stone

 

Although we were inhumane

Washed their brains

Sent their hope down the drain

The Indigenous stayed strong

 

Now we attend school

In an attempt to fix what we did wrong

It's time to understand

Their land is their land
