Here are the lyrics for Noel Gardner's song : "A SIMPLE PROPOSITION" regarding Australia's current Referendum, as discussed 2 posts below. It can be found on various platforms, but here it is on YouTube : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1n58BiBwuSo A Simple Proposition It was a simple proposition, with a simple plan A simple way to recognise, the first peoples of this land A simple ask for a Voice from those at Uluru But the government ignored it, and then lied about it too After years of consultation, the elders gathered in the dust In the centre of Australia through dialogue and trust Just fifty years after, they had won the right to Vote Looking for a better way, from despair to hope The Libs. twisted its intentions, and distorted truth and fact Mixed it up with hate and lies and other hurtful crap But hope was never ceded, and elders pushed on with their plan Until a politician said I’ll, support you in your stand When he announced he would pursue it, and heeded to their call Hope swelled for a future bright, a better path for one and all But they under estimated, darkness pushing through A negative agenda, with big backing from the few The few who scuttle progress, the ones who lie and hate The one’s who add confusion, with division they create Who spread their propaganda or promote religious creed Who cast aside people’s rights, and ignore heartfelt plea’s So before you mark your ballot, please open up your heart Reach for generosity, a new way to make a start Ignore that negativity, let compassion be your guide A heartfelt plea from Uluru to walk and recognise It was a simple proposition, with a simple plan A simple way to recognise, the first people’s of this land A simple ask for a voice, to create a better way So simply consider that, on referendum day So simply consider that, on referendum day And remember that you are The Voice come referendum day Noel Gardner ( C ) 5th Sept 2023 Cheers, R-J
