VERSE
I'm Fitzroy where the stars be, I'm Wanganeen in '93
I'm Mundine, I'm Cathy Free-man, that fire inside-a-me
I'm Adam Goodes, and Adam should be applauded when he stand up
You can look to us when that time stopIm Patty Mills with the last shot
I'm Gurrumul, I'm Archie, I'm everything you ask me
I'm everything you can't be, I'm the dead hearts, heart beat
HOOK
The children came back, the children came back
back where their hearts grow strong
back where they all belong
the children came bac
VERSE
I'm Doug Nicholls, I'm jimmy little, with a royal telephone
I'm the world champ in '68, Boy I'm Lionel Rose
I'm William Cooper, I take a stand when no one even knows
I'm the walk off, I'm the sound of the children coming home
I'm Gurrumul, I'm Archie I'm everything you ask me
I'm everything you can't be, I'm the dead hearts, heart beat
HOOK
The children came back, the children came back
back where their hearts grow strong
back where they all belong
the children came back
VERSE
Let me take it home, I'm Rumba, I'm the sand hills on Cummera
I'm Les Briggs, I'm Paul Briggs, I'm Uncle Ringo with all them kids
Im Uncle Buddy, everybody loves me Ain't none below, ain't none above me
Im the carvings outta every scar tree, Im those flats that birthed Archie
Now Mr abbott, think about it, me and you we feel the same
That might sound strange, I'm just saying, we both unsettled when the boats came
I'm Gurrumul, I'm Archie, I'm everything you ask me
I'm everything you can’t be, I'm the dead hearts, heart beat
HOOK
The children came back, the children came back
back where their hearts grow strong
back where they all belong
the children came back
The children came back, the children came back
back where they understand
back to their mothers' land
the children came back
The Children Came Back advances the story and pays homage to They Took The Children Away. Archie Roach AM released the song 25 years ago from the seminal album Charcoal Lane and it’s with his blessings, this new sequel of a song is released to champion black excellence and remind us of the amazing things achieved since. Jimmy Little, Adam Goodes, Lionel Rose, Patty Mills are just some of the greats referenced within this almighty shout-out by Briggs. “I love Briggs’ song. It's about our Indigenous heroes. Using a part of my song, where it says 'the children came back' is really what the song is about. I feel proud to be a part of what Briggs hopes to achieve and I really love that he used young children to play the heroes because they are our future heroes.” Archie Roach AM
The compelling clip features Briggs with Archie Roach, Paul Kelly and the very brave 3-year old Samara Muir who recently made prime time mainstream TV with news of her distressing experience of racism by kids her own age. Just like its predecessor Bad Apples from the highly acclaimed sophomore release Sheplife (Golden Era Records) this clip has the power to reach into the hearts of a conscious Australia, and from there to take root and grow into the wider psyche. Thanks to Reconciliation Australia the film clip for The Children Came Back is released on July 3rd to coincide with NAIDOC Week and is a collaboration between Golden Era artist Briggs & Skinnyfish Music artists.
‘Any musical collaboration that brings Urban and remote Australia together makes a positive contribution’, says Mark Grose Skinnyfish Music.
What started as a collaboration built for triple j’s Like a Version, it was decided to officially record the song due to the massive amount of positive feedback it received. Briggs [Golden Era Records], Gurrumul, Dewayne Everettsmith and B2M [Skinnyfish Music] re-group; this time with producers James Mangohig [Sietta] and Michael Hohnen [Skinnyfish Music]. There are changes from the rendition performed for Like a Version. Clap sticks replace an electric hip hop beat, a yidaki from N.E. Arnhem Land plays bass, B2M chant haunting words and then there’s that undeniable anthemic male choral quality that hooks inside your head. “This is a history lesson, a monologue, a celebration and an education in one song”, says Briggs.
I'm Indian Australia, full respect to my aboriginal brothers we've got a lot to do as a nation to heal. We're in this together as one, Australians forever 🖤💛❤
Thank you brother, I'm glad you happy to recognise us ,
#RESPECTBROTHER# 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾🖤💛❤️
Nah you Australian bruss🤙
Your an Aussie now mate
Your just Australian brother
"We both un-settled when the boats came" Is such a great double lyric
And so true how this country runs on double standards
Deadly but the whole song is beast
Best lyrics, and soooo true ❤️
Thanks SO much for this. Made me cry, especially when you mentioned Les Griggs name. He was my husband and he spoke about being taken away long before the term 'Stolen generation' came into being. RIP Les. Well done!
Megan Evans ❤️
ok sure
So sad how many countries can say they've got a stolen generation sickening. Always was always will be
Megan evans Keep strong 🙏
U b strong my dad was taken away to he rip now but their spirits r with us hey
This song was played as we laid our father down to rest,he absolutely loved this song so do i.
Edit:dad was stolen generation.
So sorry for your dad. I have stolen generation family to. It so hard for them to talk about it. Stay bless brutha
Rest in Power Archie Roach! You will not be forgotten
thanks for recognizing my uncle.
🖤💛❤️ the one and only live gig I’ve been to was to Uncle Archie’s and went by myself. Spoke to Uncle most of the night when he wasn’t singing 🎶 🙏🏽
Much like our Aboriginal Brothers and Sister, they did the same to us Native Americans too...they took so much away, our languages, our identities that still ripples to this day. Love to my Aboriginal kin...😢 ✊🏽 Stand Strong.
I've had the privilege and honour of sitting down and yarnin to Briggs and Trials. That memory will forever sit with me. That moment where they gave a no name, nothing young indigenous man there time, is a testament to who they are.
'Ain't none below, Ain't none above me'
Love ya brother, keep fighting the good fight. You are making a change and NEVER doubt that.
"We both unsettled when the boats came"
Very nice burn
Can't understand why your not worldwide famous yet. The best australia has to offer in my opinion
This is not just a song. It's a call for reparation, an assertion of the rights of indigenous people, and as forceful a statement as i can imagine. Trust Briggs to say what others fail to say, I'm a white English pensioner and this hits me straight to the heart. Every country has skeletons in the cupboard. We need to bring them out and acknowledge the mistakes of the past and NEVER EVER go there again. Love Briggs
What dont they get...? They have access to all the shit whites do, we see their stuff all the time, they got a sorry.. have access to make rap music even.😂😂 the fact they arrived just like the whites is funny, blood tests show Indian and Asian heratige as they travelled here just like white folks did.
Adam Briggs: as inspiring as Adam Goodes, Patrick Mills, Cathy Freeman et al. Keep providing a voice!
Adam Goodes is a absolute clown
So why are you watching this, ay?
Dylan Whitton fuck you
cathy freeman :)
@@Dibz0619 Probably couldn't even kick a ball your self, fuckin idiot
I love seeing my little nephews and nieces in this
This song is forever growing stronger
BRIGGS✊🏽
Indictment on modern Australia that this wasn't a massive hit. It's an amazing and important song.
So true my brother
I’m Assyrian Australian and stand by my Aboriginal brothers forever ❤️💛🖤
❤
Still makes me cry. Youll never be forgotten Uncle Archie
I’m playing this on a loop today for Archie rest easy legend 🖤💛❤️
Gives me goosebumps every time, deadly song!
Why anyone would dislike this is beyond me. Makes me cry every time I listen to this. Thank you Briggs
Tony Abbott and his mob probably :)
Awesome and big respect to this oldest living culture on planet.
+john smith Actually the Ancient Nubians of Sudan/Egypt are the oldest civilization in human history.
Emmanuel Lado Nah mate, I think you'll find that Indigenous Australians are the oldest culture on earth.
Well you better go do a little more research , we recently found evidence of our people dating back further then we thought
Manny Lado Check out a book called "Dark Emu, Black Seeds: Agriculture or Accident?" by Bruce Pascoe.
True leader now Briggs. Much respect and all the best to ya. For all the people this one.
Man I love Briggs. Proud Yorta Yorta man, Renaissance man, Australia's most important (and best) rapper and lyricist.
R.I.P Dr G Yunupingu
I'm American, working class, white, male -- and incrediibly moved by this music & video. Thank you to all in the studio & the video, and especially to Mr Briggs. However, my sole friend in Australia could not explain the meaning (although I can guess) at the double-taps & double-slaps at the heart. Any illumination is welcome. And mainly, thanks again.
It’s about your heart, indigenous people hearts are about their land. Also proud of their skin colour.
@@kevinseng8288 Thank you Kevin. I understand this. I'm curious as to the specifics of why these particular gestures in this sequence.
There's a lot of emotions in this song; let's work together as Australians to make this country more beautiful than we met it. Thank Briggs.
The love, memory and respect in this song just shines out. this is music that really, really matters. Briggs is a maste. If this world has a conscience he has my vote every time.
Best song ever!!!!! Long live Briggs. I'm very happy to have watched this.
Yeah Satan, he knows us, but he don't pay no mind. .
Cause I'm One for all
and all for one.
He ain't the only one., yeah.
NOW, I'd appreciate it if you keep the fires burning.
faith.
Trust.
We can't get led up, nor down no garden paths.
We cut the roads roun' ere.
Blessed.
This dude's the real deal. He does a lot of good for what he stands for.
Every time I watch this I cry ..... just so good.
The children are our future.This song will become an anthem once again.Proud of the first people of this great land.A history that needs to be taught in school and the truth. told for the first time.Thank you Briggs,
I can feel the old people shine bright on you bunj 🖤💛❤️✌🏾💪🏾👊🏾
Couldn't be prouder to be a native Australian keep it up brother mint keep it coming ay❤🖤💛
Few years but my children found there father my children came back 😍
it's like we are all sitting around the same campfire and singing together from all compass points of this country YO DORDBALK!
our sister girl Vivian Podessa at 1:47 in this video Passed away yesterday aged 50. deadly woman she was a genuine person that gave afook. love ya viv
Best song of 2015…….absolutely moving….listened 50 times already
Full respect of the original owners of the land I live on, all the way from west, noongar people. One love.
Tears of joy at Meredith a few years back, thanks mate, great song, even greater message.
What a great song, shades of TISM's Greg The Stop Sign, a truly great Australian unappreciated song, this song goes a step further than just a great song and represents a feeling and an emotion, not only a great tune but depth deserving to have much more than a sad 268 likes, and the one dislike just goes to show that you can't win them all. I see a big future for Briggs and this song may be the one that takes him there. Thanks Briggs for sharing your thoughts and paying homage to those that deserve.
Pink Galah Ha, good call on the shades of TISM...would have never thought of it myself, Both great songs. Great comment Pink Galah.
Nice name mate.
Yeah you feel it in your Spirit ay ❤️
That last shot gets me choked up. Two young kids, hugging each other and sharing love. That’s a good feeling. We need more of that.
And he only gunna get louder !! YESSSSSS !!!

I've ran a top 40 every week since 1984. This week this is my #1.
My school library classes love this song, especially when coupled with the book!
This song is amazing! You deserve more Briggs
RIP MY UNCLE ROACH HE WILL BE FOREVER MISSED
I can not stop listening to the song
There is something so positive and uplifting about this song Despite not being an indigenous person I want so much to march with the children back to their people
"The children came home" 😢😢
Love this so #Powerful💯❤️
Love this song.
This is so powerful and incredibly moving. I cried and just couldn't stop smiling.
Such powerful lyrics bruh
Such a feel good song. Thank you
First and (the last) BEST Hip Hop Song for me - and for ever.
A Fan of Rock and Blues. But THIS is genius. Thanks. Greetings from Germany.
I would love to see who is with me in the middle of the Venn diagram that features fans of Archie Roach's original song and also fans of Brigg's and this part 2 of the song? Amazing song!
Woooowww goosebumps Briggs, and your fam too bro bloody beautiful
So many beautiful faces. The guy at 3,24 and the girls at3,50. Just wonderful,
Best song and performance for a long time by an Australian artist. This and Gurrumul's Wiyathul are wonderful examples of what our artists can do.
What a great song
I'm obsessed with this!
That’s my unc
Thank you Briggs. Well done, particularly celebrating those of Aboriginal descent who have help put Australia and their particular teams in the "headlines" It is really necessary that ALL Australians celebrate our country and it's culture going back so many years (60-70K ++ ?). As a fully fledged members of the HUMAN race we have something to really think about; and be proud of. Let us all join together for the good of this great land (and stop selling it offshore!) Keep it up!
That last clip is absolutely brilliant.. this is legendary mate
This song hel0ed me fight for my kids back from the system never gave up when I did feel like it I listened to this 3 years later clean and got both kids back and full time job working for a indigenious company never looked back
Listening to this after Archie Roach's "Took the Children Away" and reading his book Tell Me Why
Deeply moving!
And im a PROUD Aboriginal Man From Ngunnawal (ACT) But born in bred in Victoria ❤

This is absolutely beautiful , sad & uplifting all at same time. This should be our anthem. What amazing talent we have amongst our people - thank you for this song.

It IS NATURAL TO OWN
WHAT IS YOURS.
IT IS NATURAL TO WANT TO OWN
WHAT IS YOURS
ACCEPT THE RIGHT OUTCOME WILL HAPPEN… however that be.
It is within our grace, and within our charter, that we are Welcoming, for not every visitor , at the soul level, can handle the power , unforgiving as it is - walking this corner of the earth….
see ya made me cry happy now deadly song and don't worry it will be viewed more times then this and make everyone else cry too
Gotta say thank u Briggs
Absolutely outstanding. Topshelf. Tears to eyes.
I live in Fitzroy and am reminded of this reality every day, I am also the child of it, I had no idea how pervasive it was I am happy that they apologised but I am of the opinion that every subsequent incoming PM should have to Apologise till everyone it touched agrees it’s enough
Onto the dream time uncle well deserved much love n appreciation
You go uncle Briggs
So proud of you Briggs!
Thank you brother from the bottom of my heart ✊💙
Absolutely beautiful.

Heartbroken today. For the old songman. Xx
