xB
I rode to my homeland
A
and carried the memory over the valley below
B
and the heart of a nation
the war cry was blazing
A
and the loss of my brothers and sons
B
were all in the name of civilisation
E G E
the empty moon saw I was leaving
E G E
with pride and hope in my heart
E G A
the mountains talk of faraway dreaming
B
so came the invasion
A
across from a faraway place into the new world
B
with guns and new order
they gave us religion
A
then took away all of our rights and forced
B
us to live behind their new border
G E
the four winds blow and bring a new vision
G E
where children laugh without fear
G E
the land will speak and people will listen
D A
but yesterday my life was fading
D A
with every reason to die
D
ten miles to the north
A G A E
as I rode my red horse in the dying sun
D A
and then when I saw the white soldiers
D A
one hundred or more in a line
D
kill for the land
A
saying their law will stand
Am G
what kind of God do they see?
D A
What kind of god can this be?
