For all of our languages we can't communicate

For all of our native tongues we're all natives here
Em Am C
Sons of their fathers' dream the same dream

The sound of forbidden words becomes a scream
F G
Voices in anger victims of history
Am G F G C
Plundered and set aside grown fat on swallowed pride

With promises of paradise and gifts of beads and knives
G Am
Missionaries and pioneers are soldiers in disguise
Em Am C
Saviours and conquerors they make us wait
G Am
The fishers of men they wave their truth like bait

With the touch of a stranger's hand innocence turns to shame
Am G F G C
The spirit that dwelt within now sleeps out in the rain

For all of our languages we can't communicate

For all of our native tongues we're all natives here
Em Am C
The scars of the past are slow to disappear

The cries of the dead are always in our ears

Only the very safe can talk about wrong or right

Of those who are forced to choose some will choose to fight

For all of our languages we can't communicate
