Let us celebrate a day of history
When the separation of a single people
Was a willing act of treason
And an act of chasing freedom
Let us not forget history as it was
Not as how they want it passed down
The blood and stain of shame
Is still buried deep down in the soil
Of a troubled nations ghost
Both past and present
The last empire to commit the near complete genocide of a proud and fierce true native
Then built up a monsterous industrial complex plantation
With workers bound by chain of ignorance and hatred
Men and women and children treated less than animal
Remind me again what am I to be proud of
And some will say we've come so far
Then why are lines still being drawn
Why does the world continue to separate
Why are children still dying in the streets
Why are soldiers coming home without their feet
Why are our mothers still plaqued with grief
Nations still using bullets and bombs
To argue that we are always in threat of harm
From the unknown
And like children afraid of the dark
Everone is trembling under sheets
Afraid of an invisible beast
But fear is still fear
And fear is what betrays us
Keeps us from unity
Keeps us fighting each other
Instead of fighting for each other
You can keep your pride of nation
I will keep my fight
Pushing towards
The union
Of all people
