Pain of Salvation - Home lyrics

"The white man
He comes and goes he can go but
That's our homeland for thousands of
Years that's our home
And we will never leave no matter
How contaminated it gets we live
There! We have always lived there and
We will always live there"

This is our home, our roots go deep
Where our ancestors sleep
This is the land we've
Nursed for countless aeons
But never ours to keep

My tribe is crying, our land is dying
But we can't leave, this is our home
We can't let our past go

We're left with your legacy
Wide awake, deep at our roots
While you move on exploiting
We'll sing lullabies for half a million years

When my son asks why, what will I reply?
But we can't leave, this is our home
We can't let our past go

But we can't leave, this is our home
If you like concrete alone
Then don't make your high lives depend
On that past that you let go
