The Stars Were Ours, by the Kulgarrin mothers.

The Stars Were Ours

When we lived, we touched the stars
Across the sky the eyes of the gods
watched us as we slept, unaware.
The towers were our sign,
the children our legacy.
And the high places of the world
were ours alone.
We went our way in peace
We walked the stones of the mountains
brought forth by hands and will,
set in by years and generations.
We were the wind, the clouds, the water.
Free, unfettered, beautiful.
Oh! - for the days when things used to be.
