Briggs, Gurrumul & Dewayne Everettsmith - The Children Came Back

The Children Came Back

Yeah

I'm Fitzroy where the stars be
I'm Wanganeen in '93 (uh-huh)
I'm Mundine, I'm Cathy Free-
Man, that fire inside of me
I'm Adam Goodes, and Adam should
Be applauded when he stand up
You can look to us when that time stop
I'm Patty Mills with the last shot (yeah)

I'm Gurrumul (cheah), I'm Archie (cheah)
I'm everything that you ask me (cheah)
I'm everything that you can't be (yeah)
I'm the dead hearts' heartbeat

The children came back (I'm Gurrumul, I'm Archie)
I'm Gurrumul, I'm Archie
The children came back (I'm Gurrumul, I'm Archie)
I'm Gurrumul, I'm Archie (cheah)
Back where their hearts grow strong (I'm Gurrumul, I'm Archie)
Back where they all belong (I'm Gurrumul, I'm Archie) (cheah)
The children came back
I'm Patty Mills, uh-huh, with 12 million dollars

I'm Doug Nicholls, I'm Jimmy Little
With a royal telephone (son)
I'm the world champ in '68
Boy, I'm Lionel Rose (son)
I'm William Cooper, I take a stand
When no one even knows (uh-huh)
I'm the walk off, I'm the sound of (what?)
The children coming home

Boy, I'm Gurrumul (yeah), I'm Archie (yeah)
I'm everything that you ask me (yeah)
I'm everything that you can't be (cheah)
I'm the dead hearts' heartbeat (cheah, cheah)

The children came back (I'm Gurrumul, I'm Archie)
I'm Gurrumul, I'm Archie (cheah)
The children came back (I'm Gurrumul, I'm Archie)
I'm Gurrumul, I'm Archie (cheah)
Back where their hearts grow strong (I'm Gurrumul, I'm Archie) (uh-huh)
Back where they all belong (I'm Gurrumul, I'm Archie) (uh-huh)
The children came back (boy, I'm Patty Mills)

Let me take it home, I'm Rumba
I'm the sand hills on Cummera
I'm Les Briggs, I'm Paul Briggs
I'm Uncle Ringo with all them kids (cheah)

I'm Uncle Buddy, everybody loves me
Ain't none below, ain't none above me
I'm the carving outta every scar tree (cheah)
I'm those flats that birthed Archie

Now Mr. Abbott, think about it
Me and you we feel the same (for real)
And that might sound strange, but I'm just sayin'
We both unsettled when the boats came (hahaha)

I'm Gurrumul, I'm Archie
I'm everything that you ask me
I'm everything that you can't be
I'm the dead hearts' heartbeat

The children came back
I'm the dead hearts' heartbeat
The children came back
I'm the dead hearts' heartbeat
Back where their hearts grow strong
Back where they all belong
The children came back
I'm the dead hearts' heartbeat
The children came back

The children came back
Back where they understand
Back to their mothers' land
The children came back
The children came back
The children came back
Back where their hearts grow strong
Back where they all belong
The children came back
I'm the dead hearts' heartbeat
