A
This story's right, this story's true. I would not tell lies to you.
          D                             A
Like the promises they did not keep, and how they fenced us in like sheep.
 
Said to us come take our hand, set us up on mission land.
D
Taught us to read, to write and pray. 
E                                            A                    D
Then they took the children away. Took the children away, the children away.
E                                     D
Snatched from their Mothers breast, said this is for the best. 
A
Took them away.
 
A
The welfare man, the police man, said you've got to understand.
       D                                   A
We'll give to them what you can't give, teach them how to really live.
 
Teach them how to live they said, humiliated them instead.
D                                       E
Taught them that and taught them this and others taught them predjudice.
             A                    D
Oh took the children away, the children away.
E                               D                       A
Breaking their Mothers heart, tearing us all apart, took them away.
 
A
One dark day on Framlingham, came and didn't give a damn.
    D                                A
My Mother cried go get their Dad, he came running, fighting mad.
 
Mothers tears were falling down, my Dad shaped up and stood his ground.
              D
He said "You touch my kids and you fight me".
E                                    A                    D
Then they took us from our family. Took us away, they took us away.
E                                   D                             A
Snatched from our Mothers breast, said this was for the best, took us away.
 
 
Instumental:
 
A
Told us what to do and say, taught us all the white mans ways.
D                              A
Then they split us up again, gave us gifts to ease the pain.
 
Sent us off to foster homes, as we grew up we felt alone.
               D
Cause we were acting white, yet feeling black.
E
One sweet day all the children came back.
 
     A                         D
The children came back, the children came back.
E                                      D
Back where their hearts grow strong, back where they all belong.
     A
The children came back, said the children came back.
        D                     E
Oh the children came back, back where they understand.
D                                 A
back to their Mothers land, the children came back.
 
 
A                                     D
Back to their Mother, back to their Father.
               A                       E
Back to their Sister, back to their Brother.
               A                       D
Back to their People, back to THEIR LAND.
                       A       D                   A
All the children came back, the children came back.
D                        A       E            A
Yeah the children came back, yes I came back.
