Sorry Day in Canberra 13th Feb 2008

Sorry ©words and music by Doug payne 2008.

Our leaders say there is no doubt.

We must apologise.

Others can not spit it out.

They choke on their lies.


Remember what your scripture teacher taught ya.

He didnt speak the truth about the slaughter.

Remeber when they took young Jill away.

She's waiting still to hear those words today.

A friend of mine says, why do you worry?

I feel for her, oh so very sorry.



Our leader says we have no choice.

We must apologise.

the other fella lost his voice.

choking on those lies.


Remember when our neighbour's baby died

I can't believe how long the mother cried.

I do not even know this white girls name

and I hope I never know her kind of pain.

A friend of mine says, why do you worry?

I feel for her, oh so very sorry.©

If you can look back and see the destruction of the native people of Australia, if you look around today and see the tragic aftermath of the inhuman act of our people and you do not feel a sorry and deep empathy for them, you need to look carefully at the way you treat all issues and relationships.

Imagine me standing at my neighbours fence and saying loudly that I am not sorry her daughter died, because i was not driving the bus. How stupid and evil would that appear to be?

You are being a bit too severe here on your loved ones. "Dirty stinking whining lazy animals". It may well be so, as this is true for most racist imbeciles. But this video is about the native people of this country who were here for 100,000 years before your people arrived.. It is about the things your family did to them.

As for the Japanese, they could not treat your people as badly as your people treated the true owners of the land..

@AGLegend01 I was referring to the native americans because of all the races in the united states they have been treated the worst

[AGLegend01]

@eotte93 we don't need it here in the US in my opinion. As an African American I believe that they should help re-build what they tear down by giving us free Education at State Universities for the next 50 years... Knowledge is power in my opinion...

[eotte93]

I wish we could have anything like this in America

[Sonofxango]

bless yu

@coomadoug Sounds similar to what the Native Americans went through. I'm only 1st generation born in U.S. but am still sorry for what happened to them too. I read about the trail of tears which was very upsetting to me. It's also very personal to me because some of my best friends, &friendliest, were Native Americans. Don't know Y, but we attracted each other like magnets &they were some of the most non-materialistic heartwarming friends I ever had. Have no idea Y, but that's the way it was.

@coomadoug ......well you tell me, what is enough to live as one? what exactly do you think needs to be said or done?. Do you think it's healthy to tear ourselves up inside everyday over something that we can't change, take back, undo? How is that a step forward towards anything good for anyone? Resorting to labeling me an "abuser"....is that how you suggest we treat each other? Please seek professional help. I wish you all the best.
