My Grandmother (2013 Remastered)

Drivin' down the Brisbane with this ringin' in my head
The words of wisdom that my sweet grandma said
And she said, "Turn away from prejudice and hate
You know it's not too late, it's not too late, it's never too late"

And there she set such gentle smile upon her face
There's not a hint of bitterness, no, not one trace
And ask your children to pick some earth up in their hands
Oh, they will understand, understand, understand

My grandmother
Oh, you set me free
My grandmother
Speaks to me, speaks to me

Drivin' into Sidney and my eyes begin to weep
Lullaby inside my head is puttin' me to sleep
And we are a link in the chain from beyond that furthest star
Oh, but is not that far, is not that far, not that far

My grandmother
Oh, I love you so
My grandmother
I love you, I love you

'Cause you helped me see the light
Listen to the night
See a whole new day, yeah
Everythin' can turn out right
If we talk to the sign
Of the Milky Way

Another's walked where you have walked or sat down in the dust
I wonder if they'll know that they all share a sacred trust
Walkin' in the footsteps of the people here before
I said it, mine and yours, mine and yours, mine and yours

My grandmother
Oh, you've set me free
My grandmother
Speaks to me, speaks to me, speaks to me
