lyrics

This is indigenous land that you're standing on
you are standing on aboriginal land
before the white man - aboriginal people
indigenous people - aboriginal land

Now, i'm a white person
and i'm a man as well
and i make a good living
i own a house i can sell

yeah but its not so easy to be a happy white man
when the house that you own is built on aboriginal land

this is indigenous land that i'm living on
we are living on aboriginal land
before the white man - aboriginal people
a beautiful people of a beautiful land

yeah i'm a white man
and i'm australian
and cause i'm not an aboriginal i
ts hard for me to talk

yeah but i know in my heart what's right
and what we're doing is wrong
hear what they're saying
listen to their song

this is indigenous land that was stolen
you are standing upon stolen land
we gotta make treaty - you gotta listen to understand
people of australia - this is aboriginal land
