Redfern Lyrics

Paul Keating:

And now

We're living in a great creative nation

Yet we wait somehow

The battle for the country can't be won

Until we understand

How well we know our land

How much we hide our shame

Or dare to speak it's name.

Band:

Redfern...

Keating:

And here

We wander though the midst of this

And wish that it would disappear

As if it's only locally created

Insulated pain

A shadow and a stain

A hurt we can't reveal

A cut too deep to heal.

Band:

Redfern...

Keating:

But oh, I know we can succeed

We can't afford to fail

And justice must prevail

And oh, I'm sure it will indeed

With everything we share

We know it's only fair.

To begin

I think we oughta show contrition, recognition of our sin

And wonder how we had the gall

To think that it was all OK

And never thought to say

"How angry would I be if this were done to me?"

Band:

Redfern...

Keating:

But oh, I know we can succeed

We can't afford to fail

And justice must prevail

And oh, I'm sure it will indeed

With everything we share

We know it's only fair... Oh yeah!
