Dark Emu

I thought we had no ancient history
But how wrong was I
In the midst of white Australia
Can't believe I was so blind
Then I met dark emu
And my truth became a lie
The truth that emu told me
Enough to make a grown man cry

We should all know dark emu
Hear his point of view
Decades misunderstanding
Those generations obscured

Then I heard them mock dark emu
And say his truth was just a lie
My heart sank in that moment
When I watched the emu die
As if a funeral for a friend
Enough to make a grown man cry
Like a funeral for a friend
Enough to make a grown man die

You should all know dark emu
See his point of view
Decades misunderstanding
Centuries obscured

You should all know dark emu
See his point of view
Decades misunderstanding
Centuries obscured

You should all know dark emu
See his point of view
Decades misunderstanding
Centuries obscured

(You should all know dark emu)
(See his point of view)
(Decades misunderstanding)
(Centuries obscured)
