Little fishies

Grow legs for the land...

Oh, no...

Little fishies

Run for the water

Don't take

This little fishy's hand

Tell them

All about our story

Sing it

So that they all know

Little fishies

Swimming in this river

For years and years

We watched them grow...

Little fishies swimming...

Run!

Good morning, Mrs. Campbell.

We need to speak

with your husband.

Is he around?

He's out doing an honest day's

of work, but you knew that.

You only come here

when the men are gone.

Where's your lovely girls?

None of ya business.

You're trespassing.

You know that?

The Mission Manager

gave us approval.

Kids are hiding, are they?

Maybe,

but I wouldn't go

looking for 'em if I was you.

There's all sorts of things

hidin' in dark places

around here.

Things that we know

and you don't.

Gubba man! Run!

Oi!

Oi!

Get the girl.

I'll get the boy.

Where are ya?

What have you got, mate?

I reckon she's in there.

Well, righto,

go on and get her.

Go on.

Nah.

Nah, I don't think so.

-Let's call it a day, hey?

-Sure.

Come on.

Aggie?

I'd like to celebrate

this coming together

of our two great companies.

My new best mate,

Victor Finlay.

But also, the woman--

sorry, the person

who has done the most

to close this deal -

Sarah Bishop.

She kept us both

coming back to the table

even when we were too stubborn.

Hey, Vic?

- Cheers.

- Cheers.

- Thank you...

- 'Woman slash person'.

'Slash person'!

Hi, Brett.

Helluva job, Sarah.

Mm. Thanks, Brett.

Hey, you would've gotten there.

Yeah, maybe.

They couldn't resist helping

a pregnant woman.

Keep telling yourself that,

champ.

It's, uh, not what's down

there, it's what's up here.

Yeah, buddy. Just man up.

Take the L.

Take it like a...

you know... like a man.

Mmm.

Ugh.

Hey, Becky. Becky!

I think they're lining you up

for bigger things.

Oh, yeah? Like what?

Just take my word for it,

they are.

Now drink up -

we're celebrating.

I can't drink alcohol.

Oh, it's just a sip.

Hey, how's it going with your,

uh... what do you call her?

-Your birth mother?

-Mm, all right, I guess.

Oh, it's a little bit weird.

I always wondered

what she was like,

but I never expected... her.

How so?

I dunno, she keeps telling

Chloe these Dreamtimey stories.

We've got nothing in common.

And she lives

up near the border

so it's not like

I can just tell her to go home.

But Fergus loves her.

House on fire, those two.

Well, you gotta dump him.

Husbands getting on

with their mothers-in-law?

First sign of the apocalypse.

Oh, speaking of

the apocalypse...

Need a lift?

Thanks, my girl.

This is Becky.

Hello, bub.

What have you got there?

Looks heaps heavy.

Just something to cook

for Sarah tonight.

Be good for your blood.

For you and the baby.

Oh. Thanks... Ruth.

Hey, got ya now. You got

nothin'.

Hey, babe.

Hey.

Hey, Becky.

-Hey.

-This is my brother, Ray Boy.

Delighted to make

your acquaintance.

I... am Ray.

Ray Boy.

No, it's just Ray,

the Boy is silent.

You might wanna get a shot,

Becky - he's got the hep.

Oh, charming.

-How'd the merger go, babe?

-Yeah, not too bad.

Uh, she's being modest.

It was huge, and it would've

completely fallen over

if it wasn't for

our Little Miss Fixit here.

I knew I married up.

That was smart of me.

Yeah, good stuff, Sare.

Becky, um, are you a merging

company business lawyer too?

It's called Corporate Law,

Agent Dipshit.

Mummy!

I drew you a picture.

- Ooh!

- Hey...

Agh!

- Argh!

- Mummy?

- Sarah!

- You right?

Come on, babe.

Bub, it's all right.

Everything will be all right.

Babe.

- I'm right here, babe.

- She's bleeding.

We've got

a placental abruption.

I want

an immediate IV line in.

- Get ready to transfuse.

- She's losing blood.

Catch up, people. Is it in?

-Give me an answer.

-Yes, Doctor.

Going into

cardiac shock!

Hold her down. I need

to get the baby out uninjured.

Baby straight to the ICU.

That's flatline.

Cardiac Resus. Defib

and another blood bag.

Start the code.

Get rid

of the transfuse.

Come on now. Are you in?

Blood bag?

Start the code.

Stand clear.

- Come on.

- Quickly.

- Clear!

Clear!

Shh.

-What a beautiful boy.

-Yeah.

Sare.

Whoa, sorry. This is

far too many visitors.

You're all gonna have to go.

Fergus, you can stay, mate.

And Sarah's mum, eh?

Yeah, of course.

I-I... I meant Ruth.

Well, whoever your mum is,

she can stay.

Fergus,

can I see you in the hallway

for a second, mate?

Now, you need to do everything

for her, mate.

She needs total rest.

It's a miracle

they're both still alive.

Um...

Uh, even though

they're fine now,

there are all sorts

of flow-on effects

-from something like this.

-Yeah. Ca... cardio, um...?

Well, cardiac arrest, yes.

But, I mean...

the stress of the body

basically rebooting itself.

She died on that table. There's

no telling what comes next.

You understand

what I'm saying?

Good man.

All right, now you

take it easy, please, Sarah.

Mm-hm.

I'll check on you later. Okay?

They've got jobs.

He's a carpenter.

She's a lawyer.

I know... they've got jobs.

They're both very good at them.

Sorry, Dr. Barnes.

And thank you for everything.

No, you're welcome.

I'll see you in a bit.

What was that about?

Nobody or nothing

better try take this baby.

My sister was stolen.

That was years ago.

Besides,

hospitals don't steal babies.

You were taken from me

from a hospital.

Whose fault was that?

I suppose the government

said it was mine.

Anyway, daught...

...it had to be spoken.

Wake up!

Do you guys

want an omelette?

- My favourite!

- Oh, I would love one.

Why did Jacob

take so long?

Babies come

when they're ready.

We can't rush them.

Okay.

Babe? Babe! Sarah.

Sarah, what's wrong?

You feeling all right?

Did you drop 'em?

Sorry. I... I must be tired.

Why don't you call Ruth?

Come give you a hand while

you get back on your feet.

I don't need Ruth to tell me

how to cook eggs.

I'll finish breakfast.

Nah, I'll do it.

-No, babe, I'm fine.

-Babe, seriously.

It's all good. I'll do it.

Here.

Take this bloke.

Me and sissy'll do it.

-Sister?

-Yes.

Wanna help Daddy

cook breakfast?

Yes!

- You right?

- Yeah.

I'll stay.

No. You go to work. I'm fine.

Anyway, someone has to

keep this family

in the lap of luxury.

Yeah, right. I wish I made

your kind of money.

Hey, you play

your cards right,

I'll leave you everything

in my will.

Get outta here!

Then I'm gonna do that,

and then do one,

then just a bit on that one...

You look after Jacob

so he doesn't get lost.

Now I'll get the tea

and the water.

Can you hold the cups?

Where's your brother?

Oh, my God!

It's all right.

Shh, shh, shh.

Why did you do that?

I didn't.

There'll be no lying

in this house.

Now, don't pick him up.

Do you understand?

Chloe, I asked you a question.

-I said, do you understand?

-Yes!

Sister, tell Daddy

the truth.

Sister?

I didn't move Jacob, Daddy.

It's all right, bub.

Come here.

I'll tell you what,

I'll clean up

and Chloe will help me, eh?

Yes, Daddy.

And if you need to,

go and have a rest, babe.

Yeah.

Hello?

Little girl... are you lost?

He's coming.

Hey.

You right?

Yeah.

I think I... just...

...had a bad dream.

Oh, babe. Come over here

and sit down here with us.

Do you want to ring your mu--

uh, Ruth?

-Can you stop with that?

-Yep.

Daddy,

do you have to go?

Daddy has to

go to work, Clo.

Love you, Daddy.

Bye, baby.

She'll come round.

- Just really tired.

- Mm-hm.

Finding it a little bit hard

to get back up after this one.

I suppose that's normal,

though.

Isn't it?

Yeah. Yeah, it's pretty normal.

Um...

I'm gonna give you

something to help you sleep.

Oh, no, I just need something

to give me a bit of a boost.

A good night's sleep

will give you a boost.

Mummy, can I sleep in here?

'Course, baby. Come on.

Sarah,

I've got to go to work.

Or do you want me to stay?

Sarah.

No. Go.

Here, good boy.

-I'll see you this arvo.

-Mm-hm.

You up?

I'm up!

Hey.

Shh, shh, shh.

Hey. Hey.

What game

do you like to play?

That's my favourite.

My mum would never

let me play it,

but we could sneak it.

But I live here.

What's your favourite?

What do you mean?

He's watching you.

Oh, my God. Ruth.

-You scared me.

-Hello, bub.

Hurting less and less each day,

but I'm feeling

more tired each day, too.

And you trust that whitefella?

Well, he's a doctor.

Just askin'.

And to what do I owe

this pleasure?

Hmm?

Well, I thought you were going

back up to where you're from.

What's brought you here?

What's brought me here?

I'm just saying,

why are you here?

Yay!

Uh, we can't do a smokey thingy

in here.

Why not?

The smoke detectors

will go off.

We'll get fined

thousands of dollars

if the fire department turn up

and there's no fire.

-Well, take the batteries out.

-No.

I'm not going to disable

the alarm system in my home

for some bloody...

superstition.

Mummy!

Well, can I put some ochre

around the place?

What are you doing?

You're staining the wall.

Can I put some on Jacob?

Can we, please, Mummy?

Yes, but make it quick.

- Yay!

- Okay.

Here.

Ruth!

In the name of Jesus Christ!

He just needs to swallow some.

You can't feed a baby dirt.

-Sarah, just listen to me--

-I'll have some, Nanny Ruth.

I want to be safe.

Look, you have to go. I can't

have this stuff in my home.

- Sarah, just listen--

- No, Ruth.

I'm sorry.

I'm asking you to leave.

-Nanny Ruth, don't go!

-Bub...

I don't want you to go!

Can't you stay?

I don't want you to go.

Nanna see you soon,

okay?

You look out for that Moogai,

my baby girl.

Don't tell her that.

Come on, Chloe.

Hey, don't you listen to her,

okay?

But, Mummy,

I already talked to him before.

That man with the long arms.

He's not scary. I like him.

-Stop lying!

-You're hurting me!

There is no man

with long hands.

She's putting stuff

in your head.

Nanny Ruth doesn't lie.

Mummy, you're hurting me!

-She's just a crazy old lady!

-Let me go!

She's not your real nan

and she's not my real mother.

Let me go!

Mum.

What for? Like, superstition

or something?

Yeah.

I told her she couldn't do it.

Was I wrong?

God no.

Regardless of

anyone else's beliefs,

it's your house

and you make the rules.

Mum?

Mmm?

Is there something wrong

with me?

Your father and I

thought you were perfect

when you were brought to us.

And you're perfect now.

There's nothing wrong with you.

Yes.

This'll come out all right.

Oh, darling.

Hey... everything's fine.

How's Chloe?

Welcome to the world

of mothers and daughters.

I'll go and see

how this little pumpkin is.

Thanks, Mum.

Come on. Can you hurry up?

Okay.

-Here we go. In there.

-Bye, Mummy.

- Bye, baby, bye.

- Come on in.

-Sarah?

-Yeah.

-Could I grab five minutes?

-Yeah, of course.

So, are you all right?

I mean, how are things at home?

Yeah. Yeah. No, I'm fine.

Just a bit under pressure

since the little man

came into the world.

I mean, that's to be expected.

I heard the birth

was difficult.

Where did you hear that?

Fergus and I were talking, just

about how things were going

when he dropped Chloe off

the other day.

Um... okay.

Well, if there's anything

we can do to support you

or anything,

you just let us know, yeah?

No.

Bye, baby.

-Hey, stranger.

-Hey.

Becky, it's 11 a.m.

Oh, well, you know

the old saying.

No.

Who gives a rat's arse

about the time?

But, seriously,

he's incompetent.

I don't even know

why he's there.

Oh, why do you have to be

so mean?

I'm not being anything,

I'm speaking the truth.

Why are you defending him?

I'm not defending him.

He's just...

Just what?

Just...

...not me.

Yes! See? Exactly. Truth.

Okay, now,

the real reason I'm here.

There's an opportunity at work

if you come back sooner

rather than later.

-What's that?

-The Featherstone acquisition.

What do you think?

-I think wow.

-And what do you think

about putting me on

as your right hand?

I think yes.

Okay. Here's what I'm thinking.

Now, I know you like Brett,

or don't hate him

like I do or whatever,

but we have to get rid of him,

at least sideline him.

He's been sniffing around this

acquisition since you left.

And I know...

Sorry.

I just want to see

if he stops crying.

-The baby?

-Yeah.

Is he crying right now?

Can't you hear that?

All good?

Yeah. He's fine.

sh*t! What's the time?

I've got to get Chloe!

Wish I went to a school

this fancy when I was a kid.

Chloe goes to

an all-girls Catholic school?

-Hey, I turned out all right.

-Yeah, you did.

Oh, wait, I gotta get this.

Mummy!

Chloe's had a really great day,

but I just wanted

to talk to you

about some of the bruises

on her arm.

Excuse me?

Have you been drinking?

I had a glass of wine

with a girlfriend.

Well, I can't let Chloe go.

I'm not allowed

to let any child leave

with an intoxicated parent.

I am not intoxicated.

-Come on, baby.

-Yes, you are.

-No, I'm not!

-Mr Norton!

She was intoxicated.

And it's up to my discretion,

right?

She's never given me

any problems before.

How about getting

my story first?

I'm the one who's been wronged.

She made me drop my baby.

How can I make you

drop your baby?

-What did you say to me?

-So, what happened, ma'am?

My friend came to visit me.

We had a couple of

glasses of wine - with lunch.

We came here

to pick up my daughter.

And this teacher

made a snap judgement

and now she's casting

aspersions on my character.

Is this true, ma'am?

Did you both share

a glass of wine over lunch?

Uh, no, that's not correct.

I... I wasn't drinking.

Breath-test her.

Sarah, don't be ridiculous.

Oh, so you believe her,

but you don't believe me?

Ma'am,

as I explained--

No, I don't think so.

Come on, Chloe.

-You're hurting me again.

-Let her go

or this will be

a criminal matter.

You do not want to end up

in court opposite me.

If you touch me, it'll be

as*ault on an officer.

What happens

when you touch me?

If you don't calm

down, I will arrest you--

Babe, what's... what's...

what's goin' on?

Wait for me in the car.

Come on. Come on, bub.

Why did you lie?

Because I just--

Why did you f*cking lie?

-I just--

-Why did you f*cking lie?!

Because I can't have

police records

saying I was drink-driving

during work hours.

I could be fired.

I'm not like you.

Sarah, come on! Can you see

where I'm coming from?

Sarah!

Why didn't you stick up for me?

As soon as I say something,

I'm the angry black man.

Nek minnit,

they be looking at my record.

Oh, that was a lifetime ago,

Fergus.

Yeah, they don't care.

Did you tell

that prissy dickhead

that I was having

a difficult time with Jacob?

I told her that

it wasn't an easy birth.

But in my defence,

I didn't know it was a secret.

Don't get smart with me,

Fergus.

You made me look like an

idiot in front of that b*tch.

-I just told them that you--

-She tried to pity me.

She, who is one

f*cking step - -

from being a nanny, pitying me!

We're taking Chloe

out of that second-rate

sh*t-school.

Mummy, no! I like Miss Miller.

She's my favourite.

You did say it was the best

school in the district.

Baby, you are going to thrive

wherever you are

because you can see things

those f*cking troglodytes

can't even imagine.

-It's done.

-Okay.

And Becky, I--

Okay.

I'm sorry.

I didn't mean

to put you in that position.

Sarah.

Sarah.

Babe.

I just need to feel this way

until I don't

feel this way anymore.

Jump in, baby.

He's coming for them.

Babe?

What are you doing?

I'm waiting.

For what?

The little girl

said he was coming.

What?

What girl? Chloe's here.

The other little girl.

The other little girl?

Nothing's there.

Hey, just relax.

She said he's watching us,

waiting.

For what?

For his moment.

He thinks

I'm gonna be careless.

So he can take them.

Take who?

The children.

Hey, come on.

You need to sleep.

I'm not gonna get caught out.

I'll stay up.

I'll make sure nothing happens.

Sarah?

It's okay.

I'm here now.

You need to rest.

Okay?

I'll watch over you,

I'll watch over everyone.

All right?

What do you

want to do about Chloe?

I'll look for another school.

If you need me,

call me.

Sarah.

I heard you, Fergus.

I told you, I'm f*cking fine!

Ruth.

What do you want?

I just came to see

my granddaughter.

- Well, I've got a lot on, so--

- Nanny Ruth!

Hello, my baby girl!

I'll draw you,

me and Boy Boy.

Okay, baby.

Uh...

-Are you--

-I'm fine.

If one more person asks me how

I'm doing, I'm going to scream.

Are you seeing children

with white eyes?

They're the stolen ones.

The what?

The children

stolen by the Moogai.

Aggie?

Are they gone?

Yes.

Something we escape.

- Hang on!

- Don't let go!

Sometimes we don't.

Aggie!

You keep this.

It will protect you.

You can't let the Moogai in.

A little girl said some bloke

was gonna steal the kids.

- I gotta go.

- Okay, bye.

Who was that?

Oh, just the foreman.

How you feelin'?

Get it into ya. You'll feel

better after having a feed.

The foreman?

Yeah, just checking up on me.

Here you go.

Fergus, do you believe me?

Yeah, of course, babe.

Yesterday was nuts.

And forget Becky - she's not

welcome here anymore.

No. I mean, do you believe me

about the little girl?

I accept that you...

saw something.

But it's all good, babe.

I'm here for ya.

We're gonna

get through this together.

Anything else

you want me to drink?

Hm?

Mmm!

Mmm!

Delicious.

Yeah.

I think I'm gonna

go and lie down.

I'm suddenly so tired. I don't

know what's come over me.

You right?

Stop asking me that.

And get rid of that thing.

Ruth said it would keep

the bad spirits away.

It worked, didn't it?

Sarah! Here! Here! Hey!

They're in there!

They're in there!

What? What?

I don't know what's happening!

We're gonna get through this.

It's gonna be okay.

I love you. We'll

get through this together.

I'm... I'm gonna

get you some help.

-No! I don't want anyone's--

-Babe.

Get rid of it!

-But your mum said--

-She is not my mother!

She just gave birth to me.

Now throw it out!

Big bro, I've got you covered.

Ray, this is serious.

I need you

to look after my kids for me.

If there's any trouble,

ring us straightaway.

We're not going anywhere.

Quick visit to the doc

and we'll be straight back.

I'm not leaving my children.

Sare. Sister. Come here.

Come here, come here,

come here. Look, look, look.

I know I'm a disappointment

to everyone

and I might be

all about the ladies.

But...

...anyone hurts your kids...

...I'll f*cking k*ll them.

Okay?

Uncle!

Piglet! Hello, bub.

- How have you been?

- Good.

That's good.

Have you been practising

your poker skills?

Yes.

That's good, that's good.

Then I can take your money.

I've been...

seeing things.

Okay. Like what?

A little girl.

And she's been telling me

about a man.

With long hands.

And he wants to take my kids.

I mean...

No, I-I mean...

I dreamt her, okay?

Somet-- Like...

I didn't see her, I dreamt her.

Or, sometimes, I dream of her

and sometimes I see her.

Mm-hm.

And how have you been sleeping?

Sleep-deprived people,

they can't think straight, they

can't make informed decisions,

can't maintain balance.

That's why I gave you the

medication, to even you out--

Look, f*ck your medication,

all right?

I stopped taking it.

Even when you crushed those

pills and put 'em in my wine--

It was for your own good.

- For my own good?!

- Listen, listen.

It's my diagnosis

that you are exhausted,

but I think you're also

suffering from psychosis, so--

Yep, fine.

Just write the prescription.

I'd like to admit you.

Admit me?

I'd like you to stay

for a couple of days

and let's go from there.

No.

No, I am not going to leave

my children

so that the Moogai

can take them.

I understand how you feel,

but, right now, you...

...are a danger

to your children.

Fergus has mentioned

the incident.

-Oh, what the f*ck, Fergus?!

-I didn't call it that.

I just told him

you were in a tough place--

Sarah, the best thing

for you right now is rest.

Now, Fergus

is your next of kin.

If he gives permission for you

to be taken into our care,

then it'll allow you

to get the rest you need.

-You set this up.

-No. No, I didn't.

Look, if you wanna go,

let's just go!

Fergus, you've done

the right thing by coming here.

This is something

that can only be treated

with modern medicine.

What are you doing, Sarah?

Hey, don't touch me!

You need to rest. All right?

-You need to rest.

-Fergus...

Fergus!

Fergus, you have to believe me!

Fergus! Protect our babies!

I know it doesn't

feel this way,

but she's in the best place

she can be.

- Come on.

- The Moogai is coming

for my children!

Watch them, Fergus!

Don't you let them

out of your sight!

Keep them with you!

Stay with them!

No, Mummy's resting

at the hospital.

But Kitty's here.

She'll keep you warm.

Sleep now.

And Uncle Ray Boy

will make you pancakes

in the morning for breakfast.

Okay.

Let me out!

Let me out!

He's coming for them!

Now you can stop fighting.

Chloe! Wake up! Chloe!

Chloe!

Come on, baby.

Go downstairs, jump in the car.

No, you hang up.

No, you hang up.

What--

Oh, wait, wait, wait there,

lovely one.

Fergus.

This place is empty.

You wanna come over?

Wait here, bub.

Look after your brother, okay?

Visiting hours

are over, sweetheart.

I know, but I signed my wife

in here earlier today

and I'd like to sign her out

now, please.

- Sarah Bishop?

- Yeah, that's her.

Is there something

I need to sign?

No, because

she can't leave.

She stays here until she's been

seen by a supervising--

-But I changed my mind.

-I understand that, sweetie,

but she can't leave.

Wait here, baby.

I'm gonna get Mummy, okay?

Watch them.

-Young man!

-Watch them.

Young man!

You can't be in here!

If you don't leave,

you will be escorted out.

I'm calling the police.

Fergus?

I'm so sorry.

I should've believed you

no matter what.

Where are the kids?

I've got Sarah and the kids.

We're coming to you.

Yeah, we're on our way. We're

He took Jacob.

I'm sorry.

I judged you.

I thought you were

less than me.

I didn't understand.

Please forgive me.

I forgive you, my baby.

All right, bub.

Jump out

so we can help your mum up.

Come on.

Push through the pain.

Here.

We're here.

Jacob's down there.

What about Chloe?

She comes with us.

She's part of this too.

Mm-hm.

Are you sure

It's sleeping.

He's here.

This is where our babies

came into the world.

This is where

we'll make our stand.

You lay down here with him.

You need to rest.

It's gonna be a long night.

Come on, my baby girl.

We've got work to do.

All the children

the Moogai has stolen.

Who is she? I've seen her.

She's been haunting me,

bringing the Moogai to me.

That's my sister.

Your Aunty Agnes.

She's been protecting you.

You've all endured...

...so much.

The Moogai won't

be able to see them now.

But you'll have to lure it

into the circle.

Take Jacob.

- Okay.

- That's it.

Here, Boy Boy.

Stick. Stick.

The stick.

Dig deep. Deeper.

Even deeper. That's it.

That's it.

Shh.

Run! Run! Go and hide!

Oh!

Argh!

I've been bitten!

I'm sorry.

No.

Argh!

Mummy, help me!

No!

He's here.

Mummy!

- No!

- Hey!

You wanna see something scary?

Don't go.

Please.

I'm...

I'm so sorry

for not keeping you safe.

You found me out there.

You brought me home.

I should've done more for you.

I'm... I'm sorry.

I love you, my girl.

I love you...

Mum.

Did you hear that?

Hear what, baby?

Come on.

Little fishies

Run for the water

Don't take

This little fishy's hand

Tell them

All about our story

Sing it

So that they all know

Little fishies

Swimming in the river

Little fishies

Grow legs for the land

Let's do it again.

Little fishies

Swimming in this river

Little fishies

Grow legs for the land

Little fishies

Run for the water

Don't take

This little fishy's hand

Tell them

All about our story

Sing it

So that they all know

Little fishies

Swimming in this river

For years and years

We watched them grow

Little fishies

Swimming in the river

Little fishies

Grow legs for the land

Little fishies

Run for the water

Don't take

This little fishy's hand

Tell them

All about our story

Sing it

So that they all know

Little fishies

Swimming in the river

Little fishies

Grow legs for the land.

This story's right

This story's true

I would not tell

Lies to you

Like the promises

They did not keep

And how they fenced us in

Like sheep

Said to us

"Come, take our hand"

Set us up on mission land

Taught us to read

To write and pray

Then they took

the children away

Took the children away

The children away

Snatched from

Their mother's breast

Said "This is for the best"

Took them away

The welfare

And the policeman

Said

"You've got to understand

"We'll give to them

What you can't give

"Teach them how

To really live"

"Teach them how to live"

They said

Humiliated them instead

Taught them that

And taught them this

And others taught them

Prejudice

You took the children away

The children away

Breaking

Their mother's heart

Tearing us all apart

Took them away

One dark day on Framlingham

Came and didn't give a damn

My mother cried

"Go get their dad"

He came running

Fighting mad

Mother's tears

Were falling down

And Dad shaped up

And stood his ground

He said, "You touch my kids

And you fight me"

And they took us

From our family

Took us away

They took us away...
