Missy Higgins - Blackfella / Whitefella Lyrics






Black fella, white fella.
It doesn't matter, what your colour.
As long as you, a true fella.
As long as you, a real fella.

All the people, of different races.
With different lives, in different places.
It doesn't matter, what your name is.
We got to have, lots of changes.

We need more brothers, if we're to make it.
We need more sisters, if we're to save it.

Are you the one that's gonna stand up and be counted?
Are you the one who's gonna be there when we shout it?
Are you the one that's always ready with a helping hand?
Are you the one who understands these family plans?

Black fella, white fella.
Yellow fella, any fella.
It doesn't matter, what your colour.
As long as you, a true fella.

All the people, of different races.
With different lives, in different places.
It doesn't matter, which religions.
It's all the same when the, ship is sinking.

We need more brothers, if we're to make it.
We need more sisters, if we're to save it.

Are you the one that's gonna stand up and be counted?
Are you the one who's gonna be there when we shout it?
Are you the one that's always ready with a helping hand?
Are you the one who understands these family plans?

Oh stand up, stand up and be counted.
Oh stand up, stand up and be counted.

Are you the one that's gonna stand up and be counted?
Are you the one who's gonna be there when we shout it?
Are you the one that's always ready with a helping hand?
Are you the one who understands these family plans?

Oh stand up, stand up and be counted.
Oh stand up, stand up and be counted.

    Great story... I'm Malaysians.. how can I buy those CD and Book?? really want one..

  2. A.... B....

    i could listen to her talk or sing all day, love that accent n-n

  3. P.... R....

    So much emotion in her singing voice - slightly miffed that she speaks in such a 'normal, voice!

  4. P.... R....

    Mishap with the glue in my CD cover ruined couple of tracks in my CD but damn it I'm going to support this little Aussie treasure and buy it again! Come to think maybe it was me supergluing my guitar picking finger to make it more guitarpicky.

  5. M.... C....

    Total legend!

  6. w.... ....

    The book is brilliant, with lots of photos and illustrations. Lovely to hear it read by the Author, a born writer. Missy's writing is easy and wise, a sort of young memoir that's riveting.

    As much as l love Missy's albums, there's nothing like experiencing her live performances. Catch her if you can.

  7. E.... V....

    You actually made a difference in my life. You've been a part of lots of our travels (in the car...). Our kids sing along too :)
    It's lovely to hear the story behind the songs. Wish you all the luck in the world and thank you for your stories. Love from The Netherlands.

  8. P.... K....

    I love you, Missy! If I'm Honest is still one of my all time favorite songs!
