Always Was, Always Will Be
Sun burnt earth, stories etched in sand
Ancestors whispers across this land
From red deserts to lush green plains
This connection forever remains
Always was, always will be
Aboriginal land, you can't take that away from me
Desert people, saltwater people
My identity, my legacy
Always was, always will be
Aboriginal land, wild and free
Our culture, desert and sea
This land's spirit, it lives in me
Dreamtime stories, passed down through time
Sacred knowledge, in every sky
From the first moon to rising sun
This land's rhythm, a timeless, a timeless one
Colonization tried to break our hold
But our spirit, it never got old
We fought back, reclaimed our pride
Always was, we never died
Always was, always will be
Aboriginal land, wild and free
Listen closely, our culture, desert and sea
This land's spirit, it lives in me
We dance around the fire, under the stars
Connection to country, it heals our scars
Respect for the elders, the knowledge they impart
This land's soul, it's in my heart
Always was, always will be
Aboriginal land, wild and free
Listen closely, our culture, desert and sea
This land's spirit, it lives in me
Always was, always will be
Aboriginal land, wild and free
Our culture, desert and sea
This land's spirit, it lives in me
So let it be known, not gammon English history
This land's story, it can't be denied
Always was, always will be
Aboriginal land, eternally
Ancestors whispers across this land
From red deserts to lush green plains
This connection forever remains
Always was, always will be
Aboriginal land, you can't take that away from me
Desert people, saltwater people
My identity, my legacy
Always was, always will be
Aboriginal land, wild and free
Our culture, desert and sea
This land's spirit, it lives in me
Dreamtime stories, passed down through time
Sacred knowledge, in every sky
From the first moon to rising sun
This land's rhythm, a timeless, a timeless one
Colonization tried to break our hold
But our spirit, it never got old
We fought back, reclaimed our pride
Always was, we never died
Always was, always will be
Aboriginal land, wild and free
Listen closely, our culture, desert and sea
This land's spirit, it lives in me
We dance around the fire, under the stars
Connection to country, it heals our scars
Respect for the elders, the knowledge they impart
This land's soul, it's in my heart
Always was, always will be
Aboriginal land, wild and free
Listen closely, our culture, desert and sea
This land's spirit, it lives in me
Always was, always will be
Aboriginal land, wild and free
Our culture, desert and sea
This land's spirit, it lives in me
So let it be known, not gammon English history
This land's story, it can't be denied
Always was, always will be
Aboriginal land, eternally
