From the recording Happening: A Movement in 12 Acts
Lyrics
10 - History
It’s a proud land
A beautiful country
Endless possibilities, bountiful but
Forged in blood
The sweat, the toil of millions
The lives of our young boys, men, our children
They must have fought for something
It wasn’t just a job
It was an ideal
A utopia of ideas
Of unlimited freedom, expression
passion and equality
But now it is not equal
And hasn’t been for quite some time
But we were born from Revolution
And if necessary to revolution
we shall return
For we cannot lose these things
Or we mimic that which our forefathers
Left and gave so much to create
For we are all immigrants here and
every day is a new start
For all of us, no matter how long
we’ve been here
Our diversity has made us strong
Now is the time to fight for that again
Or we will die and crumble
Amongst all we have built
