lyrics

"Nothings black and white
and no I don't understand.
I call myself Australian, yet know nothing of this land.
The dust in my heart just isn't red
and its not my souls blood thats been shed.
I live in the city
and its moving too fast,
too much too soon, are we respecting our hearts?
The ancestors wait under time, they saw it all in their minds eye.
They sobbed out the stolen and they bawled out the crimes.
They are waiting underground for the lies to die
They cry the deserts, and whisper the wind, they talk the seas, they're singing their land for eternity....ohhh yeah...
They cry the deserts and they whisper the wind, they talk the trees and wail the seas, they're singing the land...singing the land...for eternity...singing the land...."
