lyrics

Verse 1

They just did not realise, what Charlie saw through his eyes
Needlessly suffering, over who gets to drink
Freedom riders, 'vagelising truth in every town
Stood at the gate to the pool mob, said you can't keep us down

Chorus

Would they be proud? Would they be proud?
Would they be proud of what we've become
Would they be proud?
Give them reasons to be proud of us

Verse 2

We don't always recognise, hatred wraps our hearts in cloud
Lowitja saw the promise of souls and her people stood up proud
Go back to where you belong, said the man in the big white coat
You can't destroy this dream she said my hope will grow and surpass your clout

Verse 3

That terra nullius ain’t yours, said Eddie in the garden
Painted in the souls of the Murrays, is a lease that never ends

You didn’t ask us to enter our land
You didn’t ask about the lines in the sand
You didn’t ask us so we’re gonna demand
You can’t deny us so we’re making our stand!
