East |
| I see the summer in a little green leaf now |
| One million trees now their swords unsheathed now |
| Little children been inside for weeks now |
| Running out water fighting in the streets now |
| I always lived for that summertime day |
| How to be sure good weather coming your way |
| How to be sure you leave behind clouds of grey |
| We head east, up to Byron Bay |
| Up to Byron Bay… |
| Take a bus if you must or just drive you’ll |
| Head straight in to the sea on arrival |
| Deserted beaches for me soul survival |
| In the East I find me gods much greater than the bible |
| And now I sit by this creek while I rest |
| I think lucky me because this East is still the West |
| I got food |
| I got water |
| I got peace |
| I am blessed |
| I got no bombs fallin on me chest |
| Fallin on me chest |
| I’m reminded as I sit by this creek now |
| Camel in the desert bone dry for a week now |
| The scene of learning on Earth this ancient land now |
| Ancient libraries buried in the sand now |
| Now everybody jump up, jump up and down now |
| The leaders of this country they are wearing the crowns |
| Represent the people of the country and the towns |
| So people shout out for compassion or this ship is going down |
| And in the East I see fun I see sun |
| But in another East I hear bombs I hear guns |
| Some good people they run run run |
| And we put them in a cage, let them burn in the sun |
| We just let them burn in the sun |
| What’s to be done? |
| We just let them burn in the sun |
| We so lucky why not share it around now? |
| We so lucky why not share it around now? |
| We so lucky why not share it around now? |
| We so lucky why not share it around now? |
