	Story Behind the Song "Theys Goodbye" was inspired by a speech given by West Papuan Independence leader, Theys Eluay, a week before he was assassinated on the 10th November 2001. He delivered it to a small gathering of friends and followers on the occasion of his 64th birthday. Lyrics Theys Goodbye (A song for West Papua) Our prayers that the flag will fly will be answered I'm prepared to go to my grave so the flag can fly No use sittin' on the fences I give to you these words and wave goodbye Wave Goodbye Our prayers that the flag will fly will be answered One day soon the Morning Star will rise And cut out this Indonesian cancer I give to you these words now don't you cry Don't you cry I pass this baton on to you in the hope that You can help to spread the truth About what happenned here back in '69, West Papua …. was sold… Our prayers that the flag will fly will be answered We shall overcome, We will re-unite We’ll be singin’, We’ll be dancin’ I give to you these words now don’t you cry Our Eastern brothers and sisters by our side.... By our side I hold this candle up for you In the hope that It can shine a light on the truth About what happenned here back in '69 When man walked on the moon West Papua was marched down a road to ruin Theys Goodbye… Theys Goodbye
