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
