(Verse 1)
The wind whispers stories, across the ancient land
Of ancestors watching, a guiding, loving hand
But a darkness descended, a shadow fell so deep
They stole our children, a wound that we still keep
(Verse 2)
Six years old, a heart so young, a confusion in my eyes
Beaten for my skin, a pain that never dies
The thorny cane, a mark of shame, etched upon my soul
A memory of injustice, a story we must unroll
(Chorus)
I AM Aboriginal, black, yellow, red, a spirit strong and true
Born of Sovereign People, my bloodline flows through and through
Beaten for my skin, a child confused, a pain I couldn't hide
But my strength from Mother Earth, within my soul, will always reside
(Verse 3)
Stolen generation, a legacy of pain
But we rise from the ashes, our voices will remain
Our culture, vibrant, a tapestry of art
Our songs, our stories, a healing for the heart
(Chorus)
I AM Aboriginal, black, yellow, red, a spirit strong and true
Born of Sovereign People, my bloodline flows through and through
Beaten for my skin, a child confused, a pain I couldn't hide
But my strength from Mother Earth, within my soul, will always reside
(Bridge)
The whispers of our ancestors, they guide us on our way
To reclaim our heritage, to see a brighter day
For we are the keepers of the land, the guardians of the dream
Our spirit will not be broken, our voices will be seen
(Chorus)
I AM Aboriginal, black, yellow, red, a spirit strong and true
Born of Sovereign People, my bloodline flows through and through
Beaten for my skin, a child confused, a pain I couldn't hide
But my strength from Mother Earth, within my soul, will always reside
(Outro)
Under our own flag, a symbol of our pride
We stand together, united, side by side
For we are the children of the earth, our voices will be heard
The legacy of resilience, forever will endure
