📜 Lyrics
Hey, my words
What I say
Heavy as clay
Hey, my hands
What I make falls through like sand
How to stay open
When everything is closing
Hearts and minds
How to keep speaking
When everyone wants to move on
Come on, come on, come on, come on, oh
Come on, come on, come on, we all know
Sovereignty never ceded so
Land back or we gotta go
Don't turn away from the flames
Don't turn away from the pain
Being human is learning how
To let go of what you think you know
Staying human is listening, listening, listening
Come on, come on, comе on, come on, oh
Come on, come on, comе on, we all know
Sovereignty never ceded so
Land back, or we gotta go
I was born on Wurundjeri land
Everything I know
Everything I have
Is because of what they lost
Our "common wealth" came at their cost
I was taught on Kaurna land
But I never heard of them
At my school we only learned
How to bury what we burned
I got paid on Gadigal land
Everything I made
Everything I am
All my opportunity
A genocidal legacy
I am Māori, Pākehā
In so called Australia
As an uninvited guest
On stolen land I can't possess
I stand in solidarity
My Tūpuna they stand with me
As Tāngata Whenua
Tino rangatiratanga
Don't turn away from the flames
Don't turn away from the shame
Being human is learning how
To let go of what you think you know
Staying human is listening, listening, listening
Come on, come on, come on, come on, oh
Come on, come on, come on, we all know
Sovereignty never ceded so
Land back, or we gotta go
Come on, come on, come on, come on, oh
Come on, come on, come on, we all know
Sovereignty never ceded so
Land back, or we gotta go
What I say
Heavy as clay
Hey, my hands
What I make falls through like sand
How to stay open
When everything is closing
Hearts and minds
How to keep speaking
When everyone wants to move on
Come on, come on, come on, come on, oh
Come on, come on, come on, we all know
Sovereignty never ceded so
Land back or we gotta go
Don't turn away from the flames
Don't turn away from the pain
Being human is learning how
To let go of what you think you know
Staying human is listening, listening, listening
Come on, come on, comе on, come on, oh
Come on, come on, comе on, we all know
Sovereignty never ceded so

Come on, come on, come on, come on, oh
Come on, come on, come on, we all know
Sovereignty never ceded so
Land back, or we gotta go
