verse 1 
D                               A 
Since I was just a little boy, I’ve been wondering why 
Bm                                                       G 
This great old culture we should be helping to heal is so often pushed aside 
D                            A 
So many children taken away, so much abuse and rape 
Bm                                G 
When will it be high priority to educate and make some real change? 
                D                              A 
I’ve seen it in communities, so many that it’s hard to believe 
              Bm            G                                    D   A 
Elders speaking wisdom, far beyond what they choose to teach in history 
                      D                                         A 
And young hearts just drinking it away, understanding why their culture was so shamed 
              Bm               G                D          A 
Waiting for a reason, what was taken off still hasn’t been replaced
