C It seems a simple choice, F G To give everyone a voice Am But maybe there’s more F G To this than there seems. When you look at what was done, With disease, the cross and gun, There may be reason, To doubt sincerity. Is the voice really a ploy, To share the freedom others enjoy, On paper, but not In reality? C G Give us a voice, An honest voice, F G A voice with dignity and power, F Not just a voice, G through which we cower, C We’ll find our voice, If the things that they decide, Wash away with every tide, As the politicians Nod their heads and sneer, Like a toddler in the car, Steering a fake wheel near and far, This voice is just an Insult in disguise It continues 200 hundred years, Of abuse and fear and tears, It’s a treaty and the Truth we really need When your land you didn’t cede, To the white conqueror’s greed, Demand a voice, That also comes with power
