Say, tell me have you heard
It's time for us to make a change
And say, tell me what's the word
For things can not remain the same


And it's time to give it back
This history's our fact
Of a future for you and I come undone
And there's no one left to blame 
This legacy holds all our shame
And all I want to do is see home


So tell them you're sorry, to the little ones
For the ignorance and the father's pride, is passed to the son
And tell them you're sorry, oh little one
For it's to the mother's eyes that the daughter will cry, "What have you done?"


Say, tell me have we learned
From all the mistakes that we've made
And say, tell me have we turned
A page on yesterday


Well it's time to give it back
This history's a fact
Of a future for you and I come undone
And there's no one left to blame
This legacy holds all our shame
When all we want to do is see home


And tell them we're sorry, dear little one
For it's foolish pride that's passed on as wise, father to son
And tell them we're sorry; oh what have we done?
For it's in the daughter's cries that you see all these lies, everyone

I used to call this home
What have we done?
I used to call this home
Take me home....
