Metanoia

Grave Beyond A Slave

Metanoia


This country born on blood of the innocent 
They were here first 
They were not human so say history 
Treated worse than animals 
Grave beyond a slave 

Lest we forget 
The birden of this land 
This great southland 

Their country torn and women raped 
Ripped apart for white mans sake 
A culture devoured make no mistake 
We must agree to set these people free 

Can we describe the living hell 
Mothers babies ripped from their breast 
Helpless she cries her family destroyed 
A life once free raped brutality 
Assimilation the name for this pain 
A culture scarred forever 
Who is at fault for this treacherous deed 
The finger is pointed while hearts still bleed 
I do not blame you for your mistrust 
I am white yet I am not your enemy 
I can not begin to relate to your horror 
Your pain your loss your death 
Forgiveness heals wounds born so deep 
Please forgive those who are week 
Who look only for difference to break peace 
In my heart you are treasured you are great
