P M Kevin Rudd's apology to Australia's Indigenous Stolen Generation was so long overdue
Those who will tell you otherwise to a fair go not true
Children forcibly removed from their parents just because of their race
The wounds still only healing of an Australian disgrace
Australia's first people have suffered more than most
Why not we celebrate them and to them drink a toast
They had lived in this Country for sixty thousand years
Till Captain Cook's arrival brought them death and tears,
Successive Australian Governments have sinned against them
robbed them of their cultural soul
Treated them as second class citizens in their Homeland their children from them stole
For their overdue apology to them two centuries they had to wait
Australia's children of the children of the Dreamtime we ought to celebrate,
At the Rudd and Nelson apology to them emotive tears did flow
Something that should have taken place two centuries ago.
