Lyrics
Stand on this mountain
See how far we've come
I see my brothers and sisters
Still falling down
Look across this river
This is where we wanna be
We cry all our salty, salty tears
Into the sea
And the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
And the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
When Ruby left the river
It cried so bitterly
She was born by the water's edge
Underneath this tree
When she come back to the river
It cried so happily
Cause she no longer a stranger in
Her own country
And the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
And the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
She was just a little girl
She never stood a chance
But she gone and rose above
Her circumstance
She raised up her family
Helped them to do well
She lifted up her husband
Saved him from his hell
And the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
And the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
Yeah, we're living in the sunshine
There's rainbows in the sky
But we need to be happy now
No need to cry
Ruby of the River
Fulfilled her destiny
This woman is a keeper
Yes she holds the key
And the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
And the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
