We're a part of something special
we're a part of something special
we’re a part of something special
It’s a crack in time
Fallen from the nest, young eagle
I will pull my feathers out
stay humble
stay humble
stay humble
stay humble
stay humble
Uncle Mana taught us like an elder
took asunder older brother
he said
this is powerful country
this is powerful country
we felt like we were returning
to our land rebels
and the shepherds in the sea
takers are taking what the leavers will leave
so grieve me the black prince cicada
such a loud voice for a tiny creature
teach me to let go of all of my pain
I do forgive, I don't forget these things
I do forgive, I don't forget these things
We burn the bluegum for a safe passageway
drink of the earth smoke of the dirt and my warpaint was red
ochre clay Hoka hey Red ochre clay
Hoka hey Red ochre clay
Our prayers igniting, cast out into the shire
and the song of our struggle came straight from the fire,
it goes:
holy holy grandmother,
we sing wash us clean of our pain and suffering
give us strength for our new beginnings
In my deepest grace I sing
it'll wash away, it will wash away lift ‘em up
it'll wash away, it will wash away lift ‘em up
it'll wash away, it will wash away lift ‘em up
It'll wash away, it will wash away lift ‘em up
ooh lift ‘em up ooh lift ‘em up
In my dreams a whirling aboriginal man
gave me your hat and your past in one hand he said,
you've come to be with rainbow serpent
red hands red land red worship
red hands red land red worship
just then I heard bush mama crying in the chasms
for the stolen generation and the children who haven't
come home come home stay home
come home come home stay home
my bullets are my words and my words are my weapons
so chain me to the pipeline for our rivers and mountains
we sing today's a good day for my ego to die
today's a good day for my ego to die
spirit live on in my heart, in my body, my mind
then sister crow came with the murder that day
so we tattoed the bird nation onto our faces
she said we sing to let go of all of our pain
we dance the story to remember when things changed
remember when things changed
remember when things changed
holy holy grandmother,
we sing wash us clean of our pain and suffering
give us strength for our new beginnings
In my deepest thanks I sing
It'll wash away, it will wash away lift ‘em up
it'll wash away, it will wash away lift ‘em up
it'll wash away, it will wash away lift ‘em up
it'll wash away, it will wash away lift ‘em up
ooh lift ‘em up ohh ohhh
ooh lift ‘em up
ooh lift ‘em up ohh ohhh
ooh lift ‘em up
We danced the ghost dance in two separate countries
To this old song so familiar to memory
the road will teach you how to love and let go
it can be lonely but it's the only thing that we've ever known
it can be lonely but it's the only thing that we've ever known
Our mommas told us let go of jealousy
and for vagabonds and vagrants, that won't come so easy
we've come from nothing, nothing
we have come from nothing, nothing
teach me to love you in a different way
same cuts same guts same crazy
same cuts same guts same crazy
I traveled halfway across the country and back
only to find love undefined and I'm OK with that
cause I'm gonna be a guardian be a man among men
be a guardian be a man among men
or be a woman among women be a guardian
be my friend ooh be my friend
We're a part of something special
we're a part of something special
we’re a part of something special
It’s a crack in time
Fallen from the nest, young eagle
I will pull my feathers out
stay humble
stay humble
stay humble
stay humble
stay humble
