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 learn      Oh, love gives life and life is love   But what have we done      We have walked on this earth   Since the first star was shining   And the moon had its birth      But 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 learn      Oh, love gives life and life is love   But what have we done      Still diamond sun has to burn   Oh, are we never to learn   Still diamond sun has to burn      In my heart I believe   Someday the sun will shine   You shall be free      And bless our children   As they're put to the test   You'll feel the heartbeat   Of a nation's unrest      Oh, 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
