lyrics

Get on ya feet
We're takin it to the streets
Walk that beat
Get up and be
New leaders we need
Be the voice that now speak
Shouting your language free
Marching it through the streets

Wearing our colours proud
Red, Yellow and Black
Screaming Land Rights
Reclaiming everything back

Walk that beat
Ain’t gonna turn back now
Let nobody put us down
Bring it back right through this town
Marching on and on

Get up on your feet
We're gonna take it to the streets
Remember we have survived
Walk for our black lives
Walk for who paved the way
Remember we’re here today
Walk ‘cause you believe
In what will always be

People will come for days
Walking the old ways
We’re sick of the talk
Walk, brother walk
Gonna walk that beat

Ain’t gonna turn back now
Let nobody put us down
Bring the power back through this town
Marching on sacred ground

solo

We want Justice for all, for all of the lies
We don’t want no more, racist prejudice
Bring back our strength

Just here on the streets
Get the real message we need
Re-writing our history
Walking through the streets

Always was
Always will be
Always was
Always will be

Aboriginal Land
Sacred Land
Mother Land
Home Land
