[Verse 1]
[C]When the first [F]tall ship came
[C]We were sca[G]red, we were afr[Am]aid
For it was [F]told in the [C]stars
Strangers would come from [G]afar
To our [C]land, once [F]they had seen
[C]They would ret[G]urn and
never [Am]leave
What kind of [F]men would believe
[C]Their way of life was so supreme
[G]That they must tak[C]e another's [F]home
[C]For their kin[G]g to call his own[Am]
Even [F]though, people lived [C]there
They could not see,
[G]we were like the[Am]m
[F]They could not see[C], we [G]were like the[C]m
[G][F][C][F][C][G][F][C][F]
[C]
With the power [F]of a [C]gun
They would [G]take and we would [Am]run
Of our [F]ways and our sacred [C]land
They didn't understand,
[F]the[G]y though[C]t their way of[F] life w[C]as better, b[G]ut it was right[Am]
But [F]we be dispos[C]sessed
To make way [G]for pro[Am]gress
[F]To make [C]way [G]for [C]progress
[F][C][G][F][C][F][C][G][F][C][F][C]
And now,
[F]here we [C]are
Livin' [G]together, and apart
[Am]As one natio[F]n in the modern worl[C]d
With all its wonders and its [G]cures
Lest we forget [C]our [F]own pas[C]t
And the [G]people who were here [Am]first
Who lost their [F]freedom
but shared their [C]land
To the newcomers, lent a [G]hand
For it was [C]taught [F]in the [C]stars
Strangers would [G]come from [Am]afar
And [G]they [Am]would [F]surf the southern sea
[C]Just to meet our[G] des[Am]tiny
[F]Just to mee[C]t our[G] destiny
You
