Such a powerful song and one that I play after every visit to the grave of my 26 year old son. Tears and an intense sense of sadness are my responses to the beautifully expressed lyrics of this song. Grief is the price we pay for love! A heartfelt thanks to Archie! Just hoping it's on the playlist on Saturday evening at Queenscliff!
EVERYTIME I listen to his songs I get choked up I can't help but hear the pain in his voice I'm glad this BEAUTIFUL MAN can the story of many of us n our families stories through these songs LOVE you uncle archie
Archie Roach and his songs are SO inspiring, even when the song is so sad as this one. Thank you Archie for bringing such wonderful music, stories and songs into our world.
It is amazing that a song so sad, and so personal can also be poetic and not the least bit preachy. A painful story told in such a beautiful song. Brings tears to my eyes every time I hear it.
Been having problems with my 14 year old daughter.. I am going to play this song every morning when I wake her up... have been an Archie fan from The Eighties.. absolutely love this song
This song for you, my baby boy Leo. I know that you are up there with my baby brother, your uncle Hayden. I just wanted to tell you that everyone will miss you Leo. Your father and I will miss you deeply, we will never forget about you, our little sunshine. We love you Leo Messi Cooke, (Miscarriage) b. 23/10/2015 to d. 23/01/2016 on your Aunt Angela's birthday. Every day there is not a day go by that I think of you, we all think of you, you will be in our heart, mind and even soul. Hayden promise me that you take real good care of your nephew, I know you both are watching out for us. R.I.P. Leo, mummy and daddy will always love you little man.
Just watching Anh Do where he paints a portrait of Archie..had never heard of this man..My Beautiful Child, how I relate to this music...Thank you ABC for bringing us "beautiful people ".

Dirk Yarborough lo
Although not indigenous myself,this song touches me like almost no other.I adapt it for my granddaughter,the 1st verse is meant for her!
I love where Archie sang that lyrical part: "And you fought all (of) your life... " You can feel the sadness in Archie Roach's voice.
Such a beautiful touching song 💜💙
This song reminds me of my Great Grandmother and Grandmother and what they went through, "because of her, we can xx"
Man Your songs touch my soul so deep, will always love and admire you!
