yothu yindi - written on a bark lyrics

[intro]
just a general idea
start again, oh yeah
a one, two, a one, two, three

[verse 1]
a long time ago
they stood proud and strong
sitting in the land
touch the ground
sign the deed that was taken away
in our name of a king
can you heal the pain?
now in our house
the [?] words begin
they talk, and they stalk
to please the reach
forget the call
black mans right written on a bark
they’re in our hallway

[chorus]
you mine the land, you turn it to steel
what you steal, don’t have a deal
strike while the iron’s hot
the iron’s hot
(ah, ah, ah)
[?]
[verse 2]
my soul is not for sale
can’t live in bitterness
and don’t judge my style
level a scale, hit it right
former nation, occasional grief
becomes reality
that [?]
we all turn to the world
and reach far and wide
to places i’ve been before
same language we speak
same message we read
written on a bark

[chorus]
mine the land, you turn it to steel
what you steal, don’t have a deal
strike while the iron’s hot
the iron’s hot

[verse 3]
stand on our land, tell us what to do
what would you do if you were in my shoes
would you back away?
or would you stand up and fight
set me free
set me free
set me free
while the iron’s hot
set me free
written on a bark
[outro]
listen to that, felt good
very
that was one take
the iron’s hot, the iron’s hot
