Lyrics Heal the People, Heal the Land - Archie Roach

Each time that I've been silent
Times when I have talked
Many roads I've taken
Many miles I've walked
But in the middle of a crossroads
You gotta know which road to take

'Cause I have suffered, yeah
And I have cried
But who am I to say
Much more than you?
Oh, won't you tell me now
How did you get through?
Yeah

Heal the people, heal the land
Then we will understand
It goes hand in hand
Heal the people, heal the land

Don't let the beautiful die
Don't let the innocent cry
Don't let it die, don't let it cry
Don't let the beautiful die, yeah

Heal the people, heal the land
(Heal the land)
Heal the people, heal the land
(Heal the land)
Heal the people, heal the land
Heal the people, heal the land

Seen my brothers and sisters in the park
Drinking all the bitter wine, that they bought
Don't you know, don't you know
I've been down that road before

But I will take them by the hand
Yeah I'll hold them close
For they are my dear ones that I love so
I would never, never, never
Never let them go, yeah

Heal the people oh-oh, heal the land
Then we will understand(we will understand)
It goes hand in hand
Heal the people, heal the land

Heal the people, heal the land
(Heal the people, heal the land)
(Heal the people, heal the land)
(Heal the people, heal the land)
