When they came to this land
We gave our friendship, gave them our hands
But it was never to be, oh, you must bow down
They said, "Fall to your knees"Oh, diamond sun has to burn
Oh, are we never to learnOh, love gives life and life is love
But what have we doneWe have walked on this earth
Since the first star was shining
And the moon had its birthBut as with the shadows
Of lonely trees
We are in bondage
But our hearts are still free
Oh, diamond sun has to burn
Oh, are we never to learnOh, love gives life and life is love
But what have we doneStill diamond sun has to burn
Oh, are we never to learn
Still diamond sun has to burnIn my heart I believe
Someday the sun will shine
You shall be freeAnd bless our children
As they're put to the test
You'll feel the heartbeat
Of a nation's unrestOh, diamond sun has to burn
Oh, are we never to learn
Oh, love gives life and life is love
But what have we done
Oh, love gives life and life is love
What have we done, what have we done
