Bring It Back by Naomi Pigram
She was twenty three when you took her baby
She was all but three
Took her from her home
Now the baby don't belong
She forgot her momma's song
Now the baby don't belong
She forgot her momma's song
And now she's dancing like a flower in a cruel storm
And she'll cry but her voice don't make the darkness go away
She'll cry: My baby's gone It's a quiet night back on the homestead
There's a distant cry from the night before
And the pain it just goes on with a broken momma's song
Yeah the pain it just goes on with a broken momma's song
And now she's dancing like a flower on her cruel storm
She'll cry but her voice don't make the darkness go away
She'll cry: My baby's gone My baby's gone, my baby's gone, my baby's gone
Oh there's been a storm cloud falling on this empty house
Empty pages of the story that just can't be found
I've searched this whole damned place trying to bring her song back home
And there's a storm cloud falling, an empty house
Searched this whole damned place trying to bring it home
Baby's gonna bring it Baby's gonna bring it back home
She's gonna bring it back home Baby's gonna bring it back home
She's gonna bring it back, bring it back, bring it back
Baby's gonna bring it back home (Bring it back home)
She's gonna bring it back, bring it back, bring it back
Baby's gonna bring it back home
Storm cloud on this empty house
Baby's gonna bring it back home now
Baby's gonna bring it, baby's, baby's gonna bring it back home

Taken by Pearl Smith
Taken, we were taken away
I remember that day
Here's what I need to say
How come you never asked me
How I felt about it
We were living happily
And now I'm tryin' to move on
You know that you done wrong
Taken, we were taken away
Taken, we were taken away
How come you look down on me
Lucky to have a chance
Living happily
And now I'm tryin' to be strong
How come you always say to me
How I talk about them
We were living happily
And now I'm tryin' to hold on
I know what's going on
Taken, we were taken away
Taken, we were taken away
Taken, we were taken away
That's what I need to say
