A descendant of the murderers, a descendent of the slain
met at Myall Creek, and sisters they became
just goes to show what you can do when you forgive
whats been done
turn darkness into light
fear into love
You got to let go of all hatred
if you know what's good for you
you got to own up to the truth
no matter how it proves
this beautiful land don't want no bad thing in here
break open all the silence
fill it up with tears
Join up all your hands, join up all your hands
Join up all your hands spread out on the land
and no more weep from Myall creek
make joy from sorrow
love from pain
There are many other places still to go
where the killing times have left their bitter bones
where haunting sadness lingers, poisoning our towns
smoke each place for peace
consecrate the ground
Join up all your hands, join up all your hands
Join up all your hands spread out on the land
and no more weep, from Myall creek
make joy from sorrow
love from pain
Join up all your hands, join up all your hands
Join up all your hands spread out on the land
And no more weep from Myall creek

Album "Going the Distance"
Un'altra canzone sul massacro di Myall Creek, Australia, avvenuto il 10 giugno 1838, quando un gruppo di settlers seviziò e uccise per puro divertimento una trentina di aborigeni, la maggior parte donne e bambini...
Questa però è una canzone che parla della riconciliazione tra i discendenti degli assassini e quelli delle loro vittime...
