Archie Roach - From Paradise lyrics
She was born In the river land Born of her mother, into her mother's hands She was free, as the river was wild She was so innocent, Such a beautiful child Then they took her away from Paradise Where everything was beautiful And very nice They took her away Her mother's tongue Slapped her around a little bit To teach her another one In and out of institutions What could they do with this child Where was the neat solution There was nothing they could do So they gave her to the street And she joined all the rest of the hungry and the tired feet And they took her away from Paradise Where everything was beautiful And very nice They took her away Her mother's tongue Slapped her around a little bit To teach her another one And the Pondees they don't swim here any more And the Pondees don't swim here anymore She met a boy Who kind of knew Some of the things that she was going through But he was confused So he ran away She found him again And here she is today And they took her away from Paradise Where everything is beautiful And very nice They took her away Her mother's tongue Slapped her around a little bit To teach her another one Took her away from paradise Away from paradise Away....Away....Away from Paradise... |
