lyrics

“Why are only the brown people dancing?” - came a small strident voice on the hill On a day long decreed for our cheering Here we sit, pale and pensive and still

Where to start, to unfold that long story? What to say of the blood and the tears? Centuries wading deep in denial Of the fact of fifty thousand years

Long we have laboured to bury our darkness Our flags and our fireworks hung heavy in the air But deep down inside us, an ache of recognition A cry from the heart of a conscience in despair

So let’s just say we are waiting to join them Once we’ve squared all our baggage away Only then can we dance with those beautiful brown people Side by side, side by side Side by side we will dance on the hill - one bright day
