Lost At Sea
In the age when the loudest voices win
Words are now worth less than silence
In these days of so much suffering
It's the punch you don't see coming, starts the violence
We could hear the shoreline pounding in the distance
For a moment, we were free
Then the sons of white Australia came with guns
And pushed us back to sea
We were lost at sea
We were lost at sea, wondering where the world could be
Well, the power of the sea can move your soul
Eventually, it takes control
We were in the ocean drifting, started listing
Then the boat began to roll
And the coastline rose in front of us
Each one of us was moved to pray or yell
Then the sons of white Australia came with guns
And took us to an island hell
Lost at sea, lost at sea
We were lost at sea (lost at sea)
We were lost at sea (lost at sea)
We were lost at sea (lost at sea)
Wondering where the world could be (world could be)
Wondering where the world could be (world could be)
We were lost at sea
Are the ghosts of white Australia still among us?
Are the ghosts of white Australia still around us?
Are the ghosts of white Australia in our boardrooms
In our bedrooms, in our chambers and our churches
In the cities and the deserts that surround us?
We gotta breathe out there
In the wild salt air
And the storms rose high
And it raged all night
Lost at sea, lost at sea
We were lost at sea (lost at sea)
We were lost at sea (lost at sea)
We were lost at sea (lost at sea)
Wondering where the world could be (world could be)
Wondering where the world could be (world could be)
I wonder where the world could be? (World could be)
Where that world could be
When you're lost, when you're lost
When you're lost, when you're lost
When you're lost
When you're lost, when you're lost
When you're lost, when you're lost
When you're lost
Words are now worth less than silence
In these days of so much suffering
It's the punch you don't see coming, starts the violence
We could hear the shoreline pounding in the distance
For a moment, we were free
Then the sons of white Australia came with guns
And pushed us back to sea
We were lost at sea
We were lost at sea, wondering where the world could be
Well, the power of the sea can move your soul
Eventually, it takes control
We were in the ocean drifting, started listing
Then the boat began to roll
And the coastline rose in front of us
Each one of us was moved to pray or yell
Then the sons of white Australia came with guns
And took us to an island hell
Lost at sea, lost at sea
We were lost at sea (lost at sea)
We were lost at sea (lost at sea)
We were lost at sea (lost at sea)
Wondering where the world could be (world could be)
Wondering where the world could be (world could be)
We were lost at sea
Are the ghosts of white Australia still among us?
Are the ghosts of white Australia still around us?
Are the ghosts of white Australia in our boardrooms
In our bedrooms, in our chambers and our churches
In the cities and the deserts that surround us?
We gotta breathe out there
In the wild salt air
And the storms rose high
And it raged all night
Lost at sea, lost at sea
We were lost at sea (lost at sea)
We were lost at sea (lost at sea)
We were lost at sea (lost at sea)
Wondering where the world could be (world could be)
Wondering where the world could be (world could be)
I wonder where the world could be? (World could be)
Where that world could be
When you're lost, when you're lost
When you're lost, when you're lost
When you're lost
When you're lost, when you're lost
When you're lost, when you're lost
When you're lost
