Cry of the Land |
| Vibrant and real I lie |
| Mantled by the open sky |
| The wind and waves my lullaby |
| I am the land. |
| Why do you view me with |
| Eyes unable to see |
| The beauty in all that is pure |
| When it’s left to live free? |
| So hot the fires within my breast |
| Rock and steel can’t stand their test |
| Yet songbirds in my green beard nest |
| I am the land. |
| That which is so strong and old |
| Cannot be bought or sold |
| Mine is the green and gold |
| Wealth without end. |
| Ruled by the ebb of my oceans |
| Slaves to the dusk and the dawn |
| Your petri — dish civilisations |
| Are buried and born. |
| I watch as you live |
| With your heads in the sand |
| Unable to hear the cry of the land. |
| I was once a 'Happy Hunting Ground' |
| Then one day the eyes of science found |
| A blue — green planet |
| Spinning round a shining star. |
| The timeless giver of all life |
