lirik lagu dan sultan - took the children away
this story’s right, this story’s true
i would not tell lies to you
like the promises they did not keep
and how they fenced us in like sheep
said to us come take our hand
and set us up on mission land
taught us to read, to write and pray
and they took the children away
children away
children away
sn~tched from their mother’s breast
said this is for the best
took them away
the welfare and the policeman
said you’ve got to understand
we’ll give to them what you can’t give
teach them how to really livе
teach them how to live thеy said
humiliated them instead
they taught them that, and taught them this
and others taught them prejudice
they took the children away
the children away
breaking their mothers heart
tearing them all apart
took them away
one dark day on framlingham
they came and they did not give a d~mn
and my mother cried “go get their dad!’
he came running, fighting mad
mother’s tears were falling down
my dad shaped up and stood his ground
he said ‘you touch my kids well you got to fight me’
then they took us from our family
took us away
they took us away
sn~tched from our mother’s breast
said this was for the best
took us away
told us what to do and say
they taught us all the white man’s ways
then they split us up again
and gave us gifts to ease the pain
sent us off to the foster homes
as we grew up we felt alone
we were acting white
yet feeling black
one sweet day all the children came back
the children came back
the children came back
back where their hearts grow strong
back where they all belong
the children came back
said the children came back
oh the children came back
back where they understand
back to their mother’s land
the children came back
back to their mother
back to their father
back to their sister
back to their brother
back to their people
back to their land
all the children came back
the children came back
all the children came back
yes i came back
