Lyrics

You came
You saw
You touched
You broke our laws
From a dreaming
We were woken
Now the truth
Can be spoken

Dispossession
From strong connections
Do you understand
How it feels?
The land, our mother
She asks our brothers
To come
To take you home

Wattah, wattah, wattah

Colonisation
Decimation
Imposition
By whose law?
Assimilation
Intervention
This was a country of our First Nations

Wattah, wattah, wattah

You knew this day would come
We’ll never forget you
Never forget you
The land you’re from

Wattah, wattah, wattah

Pay attention
To the lessons
Nature teaches
Everyday
We might be drifting
To extinction
All our dreams could fade away

Wattah, wattah, wattah
