The Raft

(album: Dr Boondigga And The Big BW - 2009)

Though my hands are cold
And my mouth is dry
Well, this journey's told
Is a mountain high
Though the wind she burns
Like an ageless flame
She will give me strength
So I can move again

And though my people may not be many
We are ready for the storm to come
And though my people may not be many
We are ready to be strong as one
And though my people, travel light
They are willing to fight the fight
Willing to fight the fight
And though my people may not be many we are ready, yeah

We've got to find a way
Let it be done, let it be done
Do you want to keep the faith
Until the storm has broken?
We have got to find a way
To rise above the pain

My men come, he cross the waters
My men come he cross the seas, yes
He has the sons, he has the daughters
But he brings with him sea, ooh

And though my people may not be many
We are ready for the storm to come
And though my people may not be many
We are ready to be strong as one
And though my people, travel light
They are willing to fight the fight
Willing to fight the fight
And though my people may not be many we are ready, yeah

We've got to find a way
Let it be done, let it be done
Do you want to keep the faith
Until the storm has broken, yeah
We have got to find a way
To rise above the pain

The industry, will never find me
Here among the trees
My footsteps will be
Will be all that I leave
Oh lonely island, so rich and fair
We leave your shores for reasons unclear
Looking for a, better life
And you are all that I need
Hey
All that I need
