Stolen Generation

I was stolen from my home
Stolen from my mum and dad
Thrown into a car
With balloons and toys
I was taken to a foster home
Taught to be a white
But all I long for
Was not toys
But mum and dad
I was released from a foster home
Free to run away
Free to go back home
To be back home with mum and dad
I was at home
With mum and dad
Happy and free
I was at home
