Please find us children Keep looking, never stop Every Child Matters Every Child Matters Why am I here? Why can't I go home? Why did you cut my hair? Is your heart made of stone? Why don't you care? Why can't I see my mom? Don't touch me there! This is not where I belong! Why did you hurt me? Why can't I sing my songs? Where are my friends? Where have they gone? Why can't you see my tears? Why can't you hear me cry? Why can't you calm my fears? Why did I have to die? Can you find me? I'm between the walls Underneath the ground, my spirits walking the halls I'm cold and tired, I'm lost and alone I need to be found, please bring me home Don't ever stop the search, just listen to the walls You can hear my hurt, nobody answered when I called Do you hear my whispers? Whispering from the ground? I need listeners, I am waiting to be found I lye in this ground, of this Residential school If you open your eyes, I am not invisible Your close, your almost near me! Walking above my tomb I was not a runner, I was sent to my doom Can you find me? I'm between the walls Underneath the ground, my spirit walks these halls I'm cold and tired, I'm lost and alone I need to be found, please bring me home Raped beaten, experimented on and abused Even in our dreams, we couldn't escape the accused The government had dreams, to take the Indian out of the child Called us savages, into this hell we were exiled Thousands upon Thousands, thrown in mass graves I hope you hear us! I am trying to be brave My friends, they were killed, at the time it was okay by the law Racism, hate and violence, was all in the school we saw Can you find me? I'm between the walls Underneath the ground, my spirit walks the halls I'm cold and I'm tired, I'm lost and alone I need to be found, please bring me home Can you find me? I'm between the walls Underneath the ground, my spirits walking the halls I'm cold and tired, I'm lost and alone I need to be found, please bring me home Can you find me? I'm between the walls Underneath the ground, my spirits walking the halls I'm cold and tired, I'm lost and alone I need to be found, please bring me home Can you find me? I'm between the walls Underneath the ground, my spirits walking the halls I'm cold and tired, I'm lost and alone I need to be found, please bring me home The horrors, the nightmares, the never ending trauma The Generational heartbreaks, wishing we could have stayed home with mama The horrors that to this day, thousands of children are still missing There is no apology great enough for a fix The last residential school closed in nineteen ninety six Let's hang an orange ribbon, for all the children that have died For those lonesome nights, we couldn't say goodbye For the heartbroken children, that managed to survive You are a warrior, I am grateful you're alive
