This Ancient Land: Corroboree 2000 (with Jimmy Little)
I saw the sunrise on the ocean
On a day clear blue
Waking up Mount Warning
Steaming from the dew
I took a breath and thought out loud
This is all a part of me
I stamp my foot hard on the ground
High on natural ecstasy
This ancient land is a part of me
Yes, I am aborigine
I am happy to be free
You are too, if you want to be
Oh, I hurt, when the south wind blows
And dries out my weathered skin
But I hold like a river gum
And fight on 'til it rains again
Bounding like a wallaroo
Just as far as I can reach
Across the world like a boomerang
Landing home on the beach
This ancient land is a part of me
Yes, I feel aborigine
I am happy to be free
And I'm looking for corroboree
This ancient land is a part of me
Yes, I feel aborigine
I am happy to be free
And I'm looking for corroboree
On a day clear blue
Waking up Mount Warning
Steaming from the dew
I took a breath and thought out loud
This is all a part of me
I stamp my foot hard on the ground
High on natural ecstasy
This ancient land is a part of me
Yes, I am aborigine
I am happy to be free
You are too, if you want to be
Oh, I hurt, when the south wind blows
And dries out my weathered skin
But I hold like a river gum
And fight on 'til it rains again
Bounding like a wallaroo
Just as far as I can reach
Across the world like a boomerang
Landing home on the beach
This ancient land is a part of me
Yes, I feel aborigine
I am happy to be free
And I'm looking for corroboree
This ancient land is a part of me
Yes, I feel aborigine
I am happy to be free
And I'm looking for corroboree
