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
