Really So Hard
John C Munro April 2000

Stole your land, stole your lives.
Poisoned your families… raped your wives,
Hunted your men down in the year of the knives
Now we're 200 more down the track

Took your kids … bring them up right,
Took them to people …bring them up white
Took a look around and then took everything in sight
Now we've got a chance to give something back

Chorus
Is "sorry" really so hard, We just can't seem to say it.
Is it going too far, time has come better pay, it
shouldn't be so hard to say,
" can't believe we let it happen that way",

White man's here … bring you in from the cold
Change your name and maybe save your soul
Never thought to ask and wouldn't get it if you told
Now we've got a little conscience attack

Chorus

Broken hearts…broken dreams
Broken promises … you're broke on the streets
The past just isn't what it was, the future's not what it seems
(There's) no way forward without first looking back

Chorus
