Land Rights Lyrics
because it was sacred, because it was home
because these were feelings, from so long ago
they listened to the spirits, that came up strong
they all pulled together, to sing their song
this is how they did it, spears by their side
they stood on the mountain, for their land rights
all the people noticed, the movement took flight
they said this is our home, these are our rights
this is our home, these are our rights
country it was taken, land dug up
families were broken, spirits were crushed
the language that was silenced, is now free to be passed
the cup that was empty, is slowly filling up
so we can pull together, show our children it is time
you see, this is our home, these are our rights
this is our home, there are our rights
this is our home, there are our rights
because these were feelings, from so long ago
they listened to the spirits, that came up strong
they all pulled together, to sing their song
they stood on the mountain, for their land rights
all the people noticed, the movement took flight
they said this is our home, these are our rights
this is our home, these are our rights
families were broken, spirits were crushed
the language that was silenced, is now free to be passed
the cup that was empty, is slowly filling up
you see, this is our home, these are our rights
this is our home, there are our rights
this is our home, there are our rights

I LOVE THIS SONG =)
I like to think this song is about aboriganals and them being treated like nothing when there just the same as us and there land they worked off for food getting taken from them when the white people arrived and things have only got a tiny bit better there still forced to live with us acting superior to them.

I'm sorry but the lyrics are way off. I'd love to help but I can't edit them. The correct lyrics are as follows, admin people:
'Cause it was sacred, 'cause it was home 'Cause these were feelings from so long ago Listen to the spirits, came up strong All pull together to sing this song
This is how they did it, spears by their side Stood on the mountain for their land rights All the people noticed, movement took flight They said:
This is our home, these are our rights Ooh, this is our home, these are our rights
Country it was taken, land our god Families were broken, spirits were crushed The language that was silenced, free to be passed The cup that was empty, slowly filling up So we can pull together, show our children it is time
You see, this is our home, these are our rights Ooh, this is our home, these are our rights Ooh, this is our home, these are our rights
