For all our languages we can't communicate
For all of our native tongues we're all
natives here
Sons of their fathers dream
the same dream
The sound of forbidden words
becomes a scream
Voices in anger, victims of
history
Plundered and set aside, grown fat
on swallowed pride
With promises of
paradise and gifts of beads and knives
Missionaries, pioneers are soldiers in
disguise
Saviours and conquerors, they make
us wait
The fishers of men they wave their
truth like bait
With the touch of a
stranger's hand
Innocence turns to shame
The spirit that dwelt within, now sleeps out in
the rain
For all of our languages we
can't communicate
For all our native
tongues, we're all natives here
The scars
of the past are slow to disappear
The cries
of the dead are always in our ear
Only the
very safe can talk about wrong and right
Of
those who are forced to choose
Some will
choose to fight
For all of our
languages we can't communicate.
