Edward Obara
So raise the Morning Star and raise it high
Tell the truth about the Genocide
Hopefully the World will understand
West Papua is a Melanesian land
Declarations of Human Rights
They’re paper tigers, they ain’t got no bite
Unless adopted in domestic policy
Not worth a shred of human dignity
So raise the Morning Star and raise it high
Tell the truth about the Genocide
Hopefully the World will understand
West Papua is a Melanesian land
Got a message for our northern neighbours there
West Papua is a Melanesian land
You invaded in Nineteen-Sixty Nine
For the Land, the Gold, the Minerals & the Freeport Mine.
Greed, Corruption in your Politics
Murder, Torture is your main tactic
To repress the voice of Freedoms reign
In a land that don’t belong to them.
So raise the Morning Star and raise it high
Tell the truth about the Genocide
Hopefully the World will understand
West Papua is a Melanesian land
Hopefully the World will understand
West Papua is a Melanesian land
Hopefully the World will understand
West Papua is a Melanesian land
Hopefully the World will understand
West Papua is a Melanesian land
Like PNG, Solomons, Vanuatu & Fiji
and the Autonomous Region of Bougainville.

bio:
Edward Obara is the lead singer for BLACK CAN CLAN, a seven and a half piece band based in Darwin. Their music is a cross cultural amalgam of Folk, Blues, Roots, Reggae, Soul and Funk.
Formed in November 2011 by Lead Singer Eddie Obara to accommodate the upcoming release of the album 'Delusions of Grandeur – Limited Edition – 2011' which was written, recorded and mastered by himself, with the help of a few friends.
Their music is described by Eddie as “easy listening with an edge” and their genre as “Troppolitical – because we're all a little bit Troppo and the music is just a little bit political”.
The band consists of Eddie Obara (Vox), David Wise (Lead/Rhythm Guitar), Nektar Xanthis (Rhythm/Lead Guitar), Steve-o Lees (Bass), Angus Lachlan Robinson (Accordian), Buff Coehn (Percussion) and Chris Ganambarr (Drums).
