 once upon a time

What price must we pay
for freedom in our land? 

What price must we pay for our 
native Australian children's loss of life? 

What price will we have paid
when our tears have dried? 


What price will future generations pay
for the vanishing shadows of justice? 

What price have we paid for
the genocide of our people? 

What price must we pay
to be a part of Australi
a? 

Ask yourself this. Is this price enough 
Brutal deaths, rape, murder, hunger, poverty? 
What price must we pay for our heritage. 
This is the land of our ancestors,
this is our native land, we are Australia.
