No More Whispering
[Verse 1]
Sun went down over my home town
The night became so still
Goin’ off on a weekend run
A young man I knew well

[Chorus 1]
No more whisperin’ in our minds
No more whisperin’ in our hearts
Gonna rise up to break these chains
And stop these killin’ games

[Verse 2]
One less loved one at Christmas
One less loved one on birthdays
But that smile won't be forgotten
Kane you'll never fade away
And all the joy that you gave us
The twisted jokes and all
We're gonna rise up for you now
And for the rest who have gone
[Chorus 2]
But no more whisperin’ in our minds
No more whisperin’ in our hearts
We're gonna rise up to make a change
To stop these killing games

[Verse 3]
So the night was blessed with evil
And the soft rain began to fall
Walkin’ through the park at midnight
Coastal town on an early mornin’
The shots rang out in the darkness
Blood on the ground where he lay
Bitter tears will fall tomorrow
And for the rest of our days

[Chorus 3]
But no more whisperin’ in our minds
No more whisperin’ in our hearts
We're gonna rise up to make a change
And stop these killin’ games

[Verse 4]
So there’s two sides to the story
Yeah one black and one white
One is fuelled by the hatred
Just to take another’s life
So the families are destroyed now
By the hand that held that gun
It’s what the white man, he swears by
To keep the black man on the run
[Chorus 4]
And no more whisperin’ in our minds
No more whisperin’ in our hearts
We're gonna rise up to break these chains
And stop these killin’ games

[Verse 5]
We'll miss him for the game today
When they run for the black and white
The colours of Goodooga
Yeah those mighty Magpies
So let's all join the line of honour
Raise our glass to Kane
A son of a father
A child of a mother, and a friend
To sisters and a brother
