KEY POINTS:
Australian Prime Minister Kevin Rudd's apology to Aborigines for past injustices has been turned into a song.
Rudd's words feature at the start of the song, which adapts a hit ballad From Little Things, Big Things Grow by Paul Kelly, which told of an eight-year strike by Aboriginal stockmen that led to formal recognition of indigenous land rights.
A video clip at www.getup.org.au features Aboriginal elders and Rudd's address, while vocalists sing "they're not only words, it's not just a symbol" against grainy historic images of Aborigines in orphanages and work parties.
