Even though I know that you’re already home…
Those are more than just bones...
So much more’s been exposed...
The injustice that’s tortured our souls...
We’re the ones who’ve been cold...
Cause our ashes are what’s in their stoves…
Smoke rose… Seed to rose…
Rest in peace they believe we won’t… but (We will)
You were too good for their graves...
Your names too good to engrave
No phrase or words that could say...
what you’d mean to us all today...
Still it’s for you that we pray...
And we see you in the youth of today...
Can’t imagine someone taking them away…
Making them their slave and breaking them with hate
We’ll slam the gates on the pastors face cause
YOU’RE the ones who’ll emancipate us
Little souls sweet hands embrace us…
You’re giving us our faith back... You’ve saved us
Truth…. It hurt like booze in the
wounds… Feeling cursed like our truth wasn’t
truth… To the church our youth weren’t
youth… We KNEW that they tried to
bury the proof but the roots of the ancient
spruce that they cut held you close like a blanket
Smell you in the flowers in the forest so fragrant
Our Tiger Lillies... So orange and radiant
Coming for justice… And it’s ain’t
just us… We’ve got the whole world backing us
Up… Little bones underground… But you’ve
been looking down from above… So
sick of these government bluffs… An
apology’s just not enough…
The RCMP was a crutch for the Queen.. I’ve
seen what benevolence does when it comes from a
place that’s fake… No Love… They
preach it but what we feel’s hate… No trust... I was
taught to give back what you take... No buts... No
if’s or ands or maybes... Just what’s
right... White lies they tell are still
lies... Just dressed up nice in dis-
guise… While the truth is darker than
night skies... I look where the moon
light shines… On the highway I
night drive… Never touching those
white lines… It’s for you I
Fight… Rise up everyday and I
try… Coming for the land back… Yea we are…
And we’ll start with the spots they buried our
future… The properties of priests and
nuns that abused yea… We lost you once but we’re
Not going to loose you now… You’re
memory’s going to be written down… We’ll find
Peace in knowing you’re found… In sweet
release we will cry out loud… So hurt and so
Proud…
So hurt and so proud
So even though we know that you’re
home… Still going to find each
bone…
The truth’s going to be exposed…
You’re story it’s going to told…
Even though we know that you’re home…
We still cry for your souls…
Going to find…
Going to find each bone…
Won’t stop til we find each bone…
Won’t stop til we find each bone…
(Little bones)
