Lyrics

Out where the desert meets the night sky
Out where the painting’s left to dry
We come from this land that’s given birth
To the oldest stories of the Earth

Oh! Brother don’t waste your time on foolish things
Let the ancient songs fill our heads

This country
Singing in the bones of my soul
Raising me up
Making me strong
Calling me home

Time can heal a broken heart
Time could also tear us all apart
In the shadow of this rock I search for my soul
Can we make a fire from these coals?

Oh! Sister don’t waste your time on foolish things
Let the ancient songs fill our heads

This country
Singing in the bones of my soul
Raising me up
Making me strong
Calling me home

From the deserts to the forests of Tasmania
From the Pilbara to Woollomoloo
From Uluru to Kakadu
Yarrabah to Yuendemu
The songs, they still ring out across the land

This country
Singing in the bones of my soul
Raising me up
Making me strong
Calling me home
