Bob Randall is an Yankunytjatjara Elder and a traditional owner of Uluru (Ayers Rock). In the early 70's Bob's song, "Brown Skin Baby (They Took Me Away)" became an anthem for the Aboriginal people. He is the author of two books: his autobiography Songman and a children's book Tracker Tjginji, and is the subject of the recent documentary film Kanyini. For more, visit globalonenessproject.org.

1,Late one night just after tea, my baby boy came up to me with his eyes shining bright he said to me daddy i wan to know about something that bothers me Daddy where did i come from? you know the sun and the moon and the stars up in the sky
you see the mountains the flowers and the trees you see the river and the sea, and feel the wind that blows so free that is where and from them all you come from.

2, well my son, all i can say, are the things once said to me by your grandpa and grandma so long ago. in the past when things were men and men were things long time ago these were the words, when I asked were said to me,
3, our ancestors in the past, walked this land and made the laws Saying all living things are the same we may be different in many ways, but we can live in harmony with all things and each other all our days.
