Verse
Dm
I want you to imagine that you’re a child again, small and black
E7 D
Frightened, bewildered and alone
Dm
Because yesterday an alien race to your childhood dreamtime place
E7 D
Took you from the only life you’ve ever known
[Pre-chorus]
G A D
And your ears still ring to the sound of your mother’s cries
G A D
As they tore you from her helpless arms
G A D
And your scared and angry father shouting "why, why, why?"
G A D
Imagine that – if you can
[Chorus]
Dm E7 D
It’s the shame – shame – of a nation
Dm E7 D
And it’s time – time – for reconciliation
[Verse II]
Dm
I want you to imagine this – the mission’s school with alien fists
E7 D
Is clothed by the Christian’s velvet glove
Dm
Where they preach about sin and teach you shame, steal your past and change your name
E7 D
And all they claim in the name of their God’s love
[Pre-chorus]
G A D
So, when they tell you you’re an orphan you believe it to be true
G A D
For they’re the ones with the bibles in their hands
G A D
And the last small hope dies deep inside of you
G A D
Imagine that – if you can
[Chorus]
Dm E7 D
It’s the shame – shame – of a nation
Dm E7 D
And it’s time – time – for reconciliation
[Verse III]
Dm
Imagine people so advanced in their pride and arrogance
E7 D
No culture has value but their own
Dm
And only they, the just and strong, can judge what’s right and right what’s wrong
E7 D
What truth shines on them and them alone
[Pre-chorus]
G A D
So, when the light of their truth falls on you one day
G A D
And all that you are is judged and damned
G A D
When for their own good they take your children away
G A D
Imagine that – if you can
[Chorus]
Dm E7 D
It’s the shame – shame – of a nation
Dm E7 D
And it’s time – time – for reconciliation
