215 |
Two hundred and fifteen |
Two hundred and fifteen |
Indigenous children who can’t come home |
Two hundred and fifteen |
How many more missing? |
Indigenous children who won’t come home |
Why did it take so long? |
Revealing this ancient wrong |
When mothers cried through countless nights alone |
The church and the government |
Complicit in violence |
How could such savagery stay unconfessed? |
If there’s a God in heaven, you’ve been used again |
To subjugate, assimilate, eradicate the other |
We’re Christian and Canadian yet now ashamed of both |
We weep with the indigenous and stand with all who mourn |
Why did it take so long? |
Revealing this ancient wrong |
The elders spoke but we refused to hear |
The church and the government |
Complicit in violence |
How could something so evil happen here? |
Two hundred and fifteen |
Two hundred and fifteen |
Indigenous children stolen |
