Solid Rock, Sacred Ground 2022

Out here nothing changes
Not in a hurry anyway
You can feel the endlessness
With the coming of the light of day
Talking about a chosen place
They want to sell it in the marketplace
Just a minute now

Standing on solid rock
Standing on sacred ground
Living on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Keep blowing down the line

'Round about the dawn of time
Dreaming all began
Proud people come
Living in a promised land
Running from a heart of darkness
Searching for a heart of light
This could be paradise

Standing on solid rock
Standing on sacred ground
Living on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Were blowing cold that night

Standing on the shore one day
Saw the white sails in the sun
Wasn't long before you felt the sting
White man, white law, white gun
Don't tell me it's justified
Cause somewhere, someone lied
But we're getting stronger now, stronger now

The terra nullius lie it spread like a cancer
Eddie Mabo brought truth, he brought law
He brought the answer
Go back to the Centre, deep into the heart
To truth and Treaty and then we'll all be standing on...

Puli kunpungka ngaranyi
Manta miil-miilpa katu
Nyuntu kurungka ngaranyi
Walpa kampa kutjuparinyi
Walpa pulkaringanyi

Solid rock
Standing on sacred ground
Living on borrowed time
And the winds of change
Keep blowing down the line
