Some background:
Between 1869 and the late 1930s, over 100,000 juvenile migrants were sent to Canada from the British Isles during the child emigration movement. Motivated by social and economic forces, churches and philanthropic organizations sent orphaned, abandoned and pauper children to Canada,some as young as 4years old.It was touted as a "Golden Bridge" to a better life, but many were ill treated and abused and all were separated from whatever family they had left and became indentured labourers and servants until adulthood. This song imagines what it must have taken to endure such a childhood.
Defiance
you`ve seen that colour
that colour before
when they tell you daddy`s gone
and you stare at the floor
you`ve seen that ice
that ice in their eyes
the men whe tell children
now you`ll work to survive
you`re sold by the devil
to the deep blue sea
as you plough another furrow
across that vast prairie
innocence will burn, burn, burn
in defiance
you`ve heard those whispers
whispers in the trees
the voices of your brothers
and sisters you had to leave
you`ve seen that colour
that colour before
in the the dawn of a new world
crossing your bridge of straw
innocence will burn, burn, burn
in defiance
all you feel as you kneel
a child ghost almost lost
do as you`re told burning cold
save your soul
in defiance
