If the boats had never came

If the boats had never came and colonisers none Genocide never happened, wars had not begun, Darker skin I would have and life I would not fear If the boats had never came, I would still be here. Gathering rich bush food upon my mother land I embrace my peaceful place drawing on gold sand, Lightest zephyr prompting me in salt water to revive With precious blue I renew every day alive. Where quietude surrounds me all along in sight When setting sun has begun sea eagle is in flight, And now I hear my people singing up a song How happy are my people healthy, smart and strong. I love to dream of way back then when heart was just the same A painless time in my prime, if the boats had never came.
