Verse
Bm
I want you to imagine that you’re a child again, small and black
C#7 B
Frightened, bewildered and alone
Bm
Because yesterday an alien race to your childhood dreamtime place
C#7 B
Took you from the only life you’ve ever known
[Pre-chorus]
Fb F# B
And your ears still ring to the sound of your mother’s cries
Fb F# B
As they tore you from her helpless arms
Fb F# B
And your scared and angry father shouting "why, why, why?"
Fb F# B
Imagine that – if you can
[Chorus]
Bm C#7 B
It’s the shame – shame – of a nation
Bm C#7 B
And it’s time – time – for reconciliation
[Verse II]
Bm
I want you to imagine this – the mission’s school with alien fists
C#7 B
Is clothed by the Christian’s velvet glove
Bm
Where they preach about sin and teach you shame, steal your past and change your name
C#7 B
And all they claim in the name of their God’s love
[Pre-chorus]
Fb F# B
So, when they tell you you’re an orphan you believe it to be true
Fb F# B
For they’re the ones with the bibles in their hands
Fb F# B
And the last small hope dies deep inside of you
Fb F# B
Imagine that – if you can
[Chorus]
Bm C#7 B
It’s the shame – shame – of a nation
Bm C#7 B
And it’s time – time – for reconciliation
[Verse III]
Bm
Imagine people so advanced in their pride and arrogance
C#7 B
No culture has value but their own
Bm
And only they, the just and strong, can judge what’s right and right what’s wrong
C#7 B
What truth shines on them and them alone
[Pre-chorus]
Fb F# B
So, when the light of their truth falls on you one day
Fb F# B
And all that you are is judged and damned
Fb F# B
When for their own good they take your children away
Fb F# B
Imagine that – if you can
[Chorus]
Bm C#7 B
It’s the shame – shame – of a nation
Bm C#7 B
And it’s time – time – for reconciliation
