lyrics

Dreamtime

Far from the eyes
Of the rest of the world
Far from the cities
Hidden from view
A fire is glowing
The sparks flying high
The Old Ones are dreaming
In the Outback tonight

Far away
In the Dreamtime
Life begins
In the Dreamtime
Walk away
Down the Songlines
Sing away
The Dreaming starts again

The Old Ones believe
Gods walked the land
Creating the world
In songs that they sang
This was the Dreamtime
And when it was gone
The song was the land
And the land was song

Far away
In the Dreamtime
Life begins
In the Dreamtime
Walk away
Down the Songlines
Sing away
The Dreaming starts again

Modern man
A wonder to see
We can send a thought around the world
In the time it takes you to breathe
We know so much
But, don't understand
The land is the song
And the song is the land
