lyrics

Nothings black and white
And no I don’t understand
And I call myself Australian
Yet I know nothing of this land
The dust in my heart just isn’t red
And it’s not my souls blood that’s been shead

I live in the city
And it’s 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 they whisper the wind
They talk the trees
And wail the seas
They’re singing the land
For eternity.

Oooooohhh yeah...ahhh ohhhh…..

They cry the deserts
And they whisper the wind
They talk the trees
And wail the seas
They’re singing the land x3
For eternity….

Singing the land……. (Chant)
