about

A look into the damage of Residential Schooling. the pain and hurt left in the family and in the soul.

lyrics

On a cold winters day, they came to take me away
didn't understand the reason I just began to cry
Overheard them say somethings as their voices began to raise,
Mom and Dad just hung their heads as they began to cry

Who are these people in my home
Why do we sadly moan?

Life is harsh in our home as I began to grow
I believed in everything that I was supposed to know
Mom and Dad tried their best to keep us all fed,
But there were times when I recall there wasn't just enough

Who are these people in my home
Why do we sadly moan?

Life can be hurtful at times
but I must hold to this heritage that's mine
hope and peace are at the end of time
so let me cry one last time

(traditional singing)

time had come and gone and I was still left all alone
my heart was bitter it was hard as stone
all that's left in my mind of a home so far away
is the memory that stays of the sad departing that day

Who are these people in my mind
Where do we find the time?

Life can be hurtful at times
but I must hold to this heritage that's mine
hope and peace are at the end of time
so let me cry one last time

(traditional singing)
