about

A song which has been sitting about for quite some time. The lock-downs of 2020 sort of made me work on it! Can't quite remember how I first learned or read about Peter Norman, but it was a fascinating story. Sad but yet inspiring. There are many Australians trying to highlight his life, even though Australian governments seem embarrassed of the whole event.

lyrics

Joy & pride
Because Peter Norman was a local boy born in Coburg
Shame at the way he was treated
And the way he continues to be treated

He is a man who understood the time

A heroes life

That all human beings were created equal
Irrespective of race, gender, and class

Another time another place
No no no no

Another time another place
No no no no

If he could wear his human rights badge
In 1968

Ostracised, penalised
No no no no

Another time another place
No no no no

No no no no

Seen around the world as a symbolism
Of the inherent inequalities that existed based on race
No no no no
Another time another place

Standing on the dais
A small badge
His whole life
A heroes life
No no no no

He made a stand on the day
And when he came back to this country
He was punished
Decade after decade
No no no no

Another forgotten face
Another forgotten name

And he continued to pay the price all his life
No no no no
And in this country he continues to be a pariah
