Lyrics:

brother sister won't you walk with me
big black dog it chased me down
sun sets early shutting off my mind
tall grey city hold me tight

memories tell me where i'm from
but marrow whispers you're my friend
born of mother's show of painful love
and father's deep red earth

that is why you and i must fight our pride
speak gentle truth - until we all can...
turn the black dog white

we have taken hands that are not our own
to make the circle large and firm
digging treasures up in foreign lands
so language strange and harsh is sometimes thrown

but that is why you and i must fight our pride
speak gentle truth - until we all can...
turn the black dog white

our history may never be written down
but the smallest ears will see it all
and when the final music starts to play
we'll wonder why we tied our eyes
and turned our back on silent cries
to hold our flags aloft in stupid fear and anger

and that is why you and i
must fight our pride
speak gentle truth
until we're morning mist that's breaking over
southern oceans floating us home
