Xavier Rudd - Land Rights Lyrics

Because it was sacred, because it was home

because these were feelings, from so long ago

they listened to the spirits, that came up strong

they all pulled together, to sing their song



this is how they did it, spears by their sides

they stood on the mountain, for their land rights

all the people noticed, the movement took flight

they said this is our home, these are our rights

this is our home, these are our rights



country it was taken, land dug up

families were broken, spirits were crushed

the language that was silenced, is now free to be passed

the cup that was empty, slowly filling up



so we can pull together, show our children it is time

you see, this is our home, these are our rights

this is our home, these are our rights

this is our home, these are our rights
