(Originally from the album `Waiting For A Miracle`)
From Tierra del Fuego to Ungava Bay
the history of betrayal continues to today
the spirit of Almighty Voice, the ghost of Anna Mae
call like thunder from the mountains -- you can hear them say
it`s a stolen land
Apartheid in Arizona, slaughter in Brazil
if bullets don`t get good PR there`s other ways to kill
kidnap all the children, put `em in a foreign system
bring them up in no-man`s land where no one really wants them
it`s a stolen land
stolen land -- but it`s all we`ve got
stolen land -- and there`s no going back
stolen land -- and we`ll never forget
stolen land -- and we`re not through yet
In my mind I catch a picture -- big black raven in the sky
looking at the ocean -- sail reflected in black eye --
sail as white as heroin, white like weathered bones --
rum and guns and smallpox gonna change the face of home
in this stolen land...
If you`re like me you`d like to think we`ve learned from our mistakes
enough to know we can`t play god with others` lives at stake
so now we`ve all discovered the world wasn`t only made for whites
what step are you gonna take to try and set things right
in this stolen land
stolen land -- but it`s all we`ve got
stolen land -- and there`s no going back
stolen land -- and we`ll never forget
stolen land -- and we`re not through yet
