This Is Us

Australian Aborigines
Stolen

This is us
Totally

We can never be white

Being black is surely struggle enough
For us fellas

We are in despair

Your white love missed us
Somehow

Your money decimated
Our community

We waited
We slaved
We tried to believe

Your white lies

We paid the price
For being black
And
Trusting foreigners

This is us

Lost
