Somewhere Deep

(álbum: Gela - 2021)

The ocean is rising
Somewhere deep she's heating up
Somewhere deep she's heating up
Somewhere deep she's heating up
Somewhere deep she's heating up

Wanna change the way we live in our own way
Napurr dhu ga latjukumnha nhina ŋanydja way
Sick and tired of the pain everyday people are hurt like you and me
Gurruṯumirr
We need to come together together as one
The way war could be won in a world with no guns
If we keep it up we'll end up having none
With my head up high and nhäma ga sun
Wondering ga what was so fun
Living in the struggle got my knees going numb
I fell to the ground she picked me up it was my mum
She looked me in my eye said I love you my son
Get up on your feet and go get everything done
Now the world's getting stung
Yolŋu matha from my tongue
Crack of the lightning our future is frightening

The ocean is rising
Somewhere deep she's heating up
Somewhere deep she's heating up
Somewhere deep she's heating up
Somewhere deep she's heating up
Aye oohhh

Thinking ŋarra li napurruŋ djamarrkuḻiny'
Walal dhu marr ga ŋaḻapaḻthirr latju wäŋaŋur
Yaka ŋarra ga djälthirr ŋayi dhu climate change dhu buma napurruŋ wäŋa
Bili galkithirrnha marrtji waluny
Ŋatha marrtji yätjkurrthirrnha
Gapu marrtji yätjkurrthirrnha
Wäŋa marrtji yätjkurrthirrnha

We could build a future where
We will not pollute the air
Slowly heal like every year
Mother nature's skin is clear
But they want minerals
Thoughts of future minimal
Stealing nature's medicine
Fingerprints of criminals
Making more than needed
Money what they seeking
How can they see clearly when it's money that they're seeing
Whispers getting louder I can hear it in the wind
Warning us about the real dangers that we in
And we should listen and make decisions legit

The ocean is rising
Somewhere deep she's heating up
Somewhere deep she's heating up
Somewhere deep she's heating up
Somewhere deep she's heating up
Aye oohhh

Our land is cracking
From the drilling and fracking
And mother earth is crying
She's crying from the drilling
Please listen to the warning
Can you hear the thunder
And see the lightning

The ocean is rising
Somewhere deep she's heating up
Somewhere deep she's heating up
Somewhere deep she's heating up
Somewhere deep she's heating up
Aye oohhh

Somewhere deep she's heating up
Aye oohhh
Aye oohhh
Somewhere deep she's heating up
Aye oohhh
Aye oohhh

Aye
