Become A Better Singer In Only 30 Days, With Easy Video Lessons!

Someone in the city
Gets a piece of paper
Someone in the bush
Holds the law in their hands

Last chance for freedom
In our generation
We're not the only people
In our generation

Cultures fuse in a global nation
Human rights for indigenous peoples
Learning life's lessons of old
You can't take it away

From our generation
Last chance for freedom
For our generation
In our generation

It's our generation...
Sending a message of hope
To the world
Love sees no colour

In everyone
In our generation
It's our generation...
