Lyrics

Terra nullius, terra nullius
Terra nullius is dead and gone
We were right that we were here
They were wrong that we weren't here
Liya balburrk bapa-lili
Liya waltjan bapa-lili
Liya balburrk bapa-lili
Liya waltjan bapa-lili
Meriam people are dancing
Pastime heroes are dancing too
Mabo's spirit is sailing
Telling the world a story
Terra nullius, terra nullius
Terra nullius is dead and gone
Liya balburrk bapa-lili
Liya waltjan bapa-lili
Liya balburrk bapa-lili
Liya waltjan bapa-lili
We were right that we were here
They were wrong that we weren't here
We were right that we were here
They were wrong that we weren't here
Mabo's law is standing firm
Shedding power
To us to be strong
Spirit, law, culture and all
Showing the world
See our law
Terra nullius, terra nullius
Terra nullius is dead and gone
We were right that we were here
They were wrong that we weren't here
Liya balburrk bapa-lili
Liya waltjan bapa-lili
Bapa-lili, bapa-lili
Bapa-lili, bapa-lili
