               C                      Am 
because it was sacred, because it was home 
                   C                Fsus2  G/C 
because these were feelings, from so long ago 
                   C                      Am 
they listened to the spirits, that came up strong 
                   C          G/C      C 
they all pulled together, to sing their song 

                                       Am 
this is how they did it, spears by their side 
                   C                Fsus2  G/C 
they stood on the mountain, for their land rights 
               C                         Am 
all the people noticed, the movement took flight 
        G				  C 
they said this is our home, these are our rights 
G				C 
this is our home, these are our rights 


 			    Am 
country it was taken, land dug up 
                   C                Fsus2  G/C 
families were broken, spirits were crushed 
                      C                         Am 
the language that was silenced, is now free to be passed 
                   C        G/C      C 
the cup that was empty, is slowly filling up 


                                       Am 
so we can pull together, show our children it is time 
        G				  C 
you see, this is our home, these are our rights 
      G				  C 
this is our home, there are our rights 
      G				  C 
this is our home, there are our rights
