Lyrics

Reconciliation

Your generations, living on this land
Suffered so much wrong
Eagle sees your tears, his feather in your hand
So much is lost and gone
I will hear you, and shed my own tears
And offer you my song.

I know what we did, I know what we said
Let us remember the past
Join hands by the river, dance together
And know each other at last.

I never saw your stories, up on the screen,
I never felt your pain
Men of the law, and men of the cloth
Changed your lives in vain
Now let us pray the church and the crown
Will never hurt you again.

I know what we did, I know what we said
Let us remember the past
Join hands by the river, dance together
And know each other at last.

May our children say, “That was the day
We knew each other at last.”
Join hands by the river, dance together
And know each other at last.
