Chorus
I want to know what to do now SORRY has been said
I want to hear your stories so we can move ahead
I want to learn to listen to know what to do
Stolen generations, help us to help you

Verse 1:
We’ll deserve forgiveness when reparation’s made
There’s been a burden lifted from those stolen and betrayed
We’re the beneficiaries inheriting from your pain
Let’s all make sure it never happens again

Chorus

Verse 2:
When you called me sister it made me feel so good
Arms stretched out together in brother and sisterhood
Let’s be the inspiration, create the ripple effect
Recovering our humanity, a new way to connect

Chorus (repeat last two lines)

— Written by Helen Moran, Lou Van Loon, Ann Morgan and workshop participants Liz, Madhu, Bhagya, Adele, Flolyn and Charito.
