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
