As Australia's First People They Always Will Be

They have lived in Australia for thousands of years And the arrival of the uninvited only brought them suffering death and tears They have been sinned against Australia's first race And the way they have been treated is a human disgrace They deserve to be honored in story and rhyme The descendants of the people of the dreaming time On saying they deserve to be treated far better the truth one must face And in Australia they should command the highest place Australia's first people have a proud history For so long the caretakers of the southern Country Indigenous to Australia the vast southern Land Their great love of Country not hard to understand Through decades of time they have been treated horribly But as Australia's first people they always will be.
