We Are Not Yet (feat. Todd Levi)

We live on the shoreline
We dance in the sand
We surf the sound of waves
That float on air

We sing in the seasons
Talk to the rivers
Listen to the rain

We shine in the sun

We drink in the desert
We dream in the clouds
Ride through the scrub
Ramble down the road
Look up to the stars for
Songs about moonlight
Pitched in the past
Harmonised in the future

We live in the now

Escaping to the sidelines
We duck round the corners
Burn off
Climb up and
Cut down the tall

We keep an eye on the weather

Distorting the lines
We cry 'not a fair go'
Remembering the fallen
Trumpets of war
We honouring the brave
We stave off the inevitable

Not dropping a beat
We're down on our knees
We're up for it

We're the birds that don't fly
The dreamers that dream of
The forgotten melodies
Of new arrivals
Tuned to the intonations
Of other lands

With strains around country
Chords are kept clean
In the presence of
The deep past ignored

Too loud for Divas
Then as now is all about when

We are scored in caves
In landscapes and lines
A history of crimes

We're the outlaws that settled
In genocide's wake
Chanting sentimental ballads
About the wild bush

We hop from the hip
The Koalas of kinship
Mates with Silver Crested curiosity

We are not resolved

We acknowledge the Owners
Broken and strong
They wait and they wait

We are not resolved
We will be but
We are not yet
Not yet
