Native Tongue - Mojo Juju, Pasefika Vitoria Choir

I don’t speak my Father’s native tongue

I was born under a southern sun

I don’t know where I belong

I don’t know where I belong

My Great-Grandaddy was Wiradjuri

My Father came here from the Philippines

It’s where I live, it’s where I want to be

Oooh but you make me feel so ill at ease

I don’t speak my Father’s native tongue

I was born under Australian sun

I don’t know where I belong

I don’t know where I belong

It’s easy enough for you to say

It ain’t no thing

But I’m the one you ain’t the one

Been living in this skin

So if you want to call me something

Call it to my face

But I will not apologise

For taking up this space

And every time you cut me down

I’m gonna come back fierce

The time is through for being nice

Let’s call it what it is

I don’t speak my Father’s native tongue

I was born under a southern sun

I don’t know where I belong

I don’t know where I belong
