Mulyawongk
Stand on this mountain
See how far we've come
I see my brothers and sisters
Still falling down
I looked 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
Hear 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
Hear the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
(Who's calling to them?)
She was a little girl
She never stood a chance
But she grew up and rose above
Her circumstance
She picked up her family
Helped them to do well
She picked up her husband
Saved him from his hell
And the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
Hear the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
Yeah, we're living in the sunshine
There's rainbows in the sky
But we gotta be happy now
No need to cry
And Ruby of the River
Fulfilled her destiny
This woman is a keeper
Yeah she holds the key
And the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
Hear the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
(Who's calling to them?)
See how far we've come
I see my brothers and sisters
Still falling down
I looked 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
Hear 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
Hear the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
(Who's calling to them?)
She was a little girl
She never stood a chance
But she grew up and rose above
Her circumstance
She picked up her family
Helped them to do well
She picked up her husband
Saved him from his hell
And the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
Hear the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
Yeah, we're living in the sunshine
There's rainbows in the sky
But we gotta be happy now
No need to cry
And Ruby of the River
Fulfilled her destiny
This woman is a keeper
Yeah she holds the key
And the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
Hear the voice of the Mulyawongk is calling
(Who's calling to them?)
