Why Oh Why?
I can't even imagine or express
To hurt a little child until their death
Sounds unfair they were not treaded equal
The RCMP helped with all this evil
They couldn't speak their native tongue
These elders couldn't raise them up
I don't believe the government I don't vote
How they left our children back then with no hope
Tragic stories that the elders tell
Raised with abuse they would cry and yell
Taken away from their homes with no help
Told they were taught good but went through hell
They gave us their word their word of god
nothing would go wrong but now their all gone
They broke our nation a grave sensation
Took our land threw us all on reservations
Every Child Matters In our hearts
Why Oh Why did you rip us apart?
Our tradition you couldn't sustain
Why Oh Why did you put them through pain?
They took away our language and tough Christianity
Oh the fucking madness oh the insanity
Gone with the culture they shipped to the kingdoms
Gone with our songs the days they couldn't sing them
Taken away the kids the parents couldn't see them
Couldn't understand disturbed by the whites
Prayed to the creator for their parents every night
Lost and confused sexually abused
Beaten little souls no clue what to do
Taken away just to learn God name
To the pastors and Nuns Hell will reign
Pray to the children who never got to grow
Taken by monsters no remorse to show
In Gods name you will see Lucifer
For the sins you caused why are they lost?
Every Child Matters In our hearts
Why Oh Why did you rip us apart?
Our tradition you couldn't sustain
Why Oh Why did you put them through pain?
The Queen is now gone and we all laugh
She took some children away they never came back
All the Queen's horses and all the Queen's men
Took off to the Palace after their sins
Where did they go? Their souls are now lost
The parents don't know and that's a grave cost
We mourn for the children who can't speak a word
We feel the confusion we feel the hurt
Now it our mission we gotta stay proud
Every Child Matters say it strong and loud
Fuck the government each side that stands
We should all be a nation all in one band
We gotta stand tall rain or shine
We all got to know when to draw the line
Every Child Matters their in our heart
We need to bring the light to where it's dark
Every Child Matters In our hearts
Why Oh Why did you rip us apart?
Our tradition you couldn't sustain
Why Oh Why did you put them through pain?
To hurt a little child until their death
Sounds unfair they were not treaded equal
The RCMP helped with all this evil
They couldn't speak their native tongue
These elders couldn't raise them up
I don't believe the government I don't vote
How they left our children back then with no hope
Tragic stories that the elders tell

Taken away from their homes with no help
Told they were taught good but went through hell

Every Child Matters In our hearts
Why Oh Why did you rip us apart?
