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.
