Letra
[Verse 1]
Wind in my head, wide open heart
I stumble on ancient paths
Tracing circles in a random way
There is method to the prey
Beside a river, on an empty beach
Any place is within reach
[Verse 2]
Hold this moment, hold it clear
Can you tell what happened here?
I see the old ones, I see them proud
I feel their love still in this ground
[Verse 3]
Footprints beneath the city streets
I hear them closing in my sleep
Walking forward now with the past
All the songs are in the stars
A forest temple, and a mirrored lake
In open desert I kneel and pray
[Verse 4]
We were bequeathed a sacred land
But there are few who understand
Keep it decent, keep it whole
Don't make a fist of freedom's home
I see the old ones, I see them proud
I feel their love still in this ground
[Verse 5]
Irritja tjutaya kulinytja palya nyinapayi
Ngurraya palyangku kanylipayi
Yuru Kapi ila
Ngurra ngururrpa tarra
Alintjarra, Kakararra, Ulpurarra, Wilurarra
Kulinytjatjarra nyinapayi
Alatjilaka nyinima kulinytjatjarra
[Verse 6]
Climatic change, slivers of shattered, whitened glacial ice
Baked salted clay pans
Human footprints fading into the dark matter
Of a universe beyond the heavens of cosmic chaos
And human comprehension
[Verse 7]
The evolving present
Is only the future path to the distant pasts
Standing on the precipice of ideas
Above the chasms of human consciousness
False prophets preach from pulpits in the temples of mammon
The greed creed consumes this Earth planet
[Verse 8]
Respect the ancientness of wisdom
Respect the old peoples' guardianship of paradise
