Mother Tongue

Sitting on a mountain top

While the world loses control

Searching for the answers

Need to cleanse the soul

I hear those voices calling

From near and from afar

Surrounded by the ancestors

I wonder who they are

I can hear

My mother tongue

I can hear

My mother tongue

Need to listen deeper

There's a rustling in the trees

And the wind just keeps on calling

You feel it in the breeze

The flowers, they stand upright

But slowly lean towards the sun

As we look upon our country

And realise what's been done

I can hear

My mother tongue

I can hear

My mother tongue

Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung

Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung

Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung

Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung

Oh Oh Oh Oh Wah

Oh Oh Oh Oh Wah

As we move towards tomorrow

What does the future hold?

And for all the generations to come

And all their stories yet to be told

I can hear

My mother tongue

I can hear

My mother tongue

Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung

Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung

Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung

Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung Djirrung

Oh Oh Oh Oh Wah

Oh Oh Oh Oh Wah
