About

Song about Australian indigenous attachment to the land

Lyrics

Verse 1

Early morning mist lifts above the clay

Brolga calls echo, guiding my way

Bark shelters close, scent of burning leaves

Old hands teaching me the meaning to believe

Pre-Chorus

Hear the river stories in the silent morn

Every stone and ripple, memory born

Chorus

River winding slow through the empty plain

Dust on my feet, I know who I am again

Carry the fire passed down through my hand

Old songs rising, sung by the land

Verse 2

Night falls gentle, stars lead the way

Stories in the silence, where my heart will stay

Red earth in my veins, winds tell my name

Shadow and memory, they move just the same

Pre-Chorus

Walk the line between the seen and the soul

Elder’s words steady, never let me go

Chorus

River winding slow through the empty plain

Dust on my feet, I know who I am again

Carry the fire passed down through my hand

Old songs rising, sung by the land

Post-Chorus

Ooh, sing to the land

Ooh, carry me home

Bridge

Smoke rising slow, dancing in dawn’s first light

Footprints behind me, fading out of sight

My father’s laughter, my mother’s lullaby

Echo in the breeze, drifting through the sky

Chorus

River winding slow through the empty plain

Dust on my feet, I know who I am again

Carry the fire passed down through my hand

Old songs rising, sung by the land

Post-Chorus

Ooh, sing to the land

Ooh, carry me home

Outro

Slow river calling, it knows my true name

Hands pressed to the soil, feeling old refrain

Ash and sunrise, tomorrow’s begun

Still I am walking, journey’s not done

Post-Chorus

Ooh, sing to the land

Ooh, carry me

end
