The Land We Share

The Land We Share lyrics

Red earth underneath these worn-out boots Listening for the story in the roots Felt in every whisper of the breeze Through the ancient knowing paperbark trees A connection older than the stone A truth this country's always known So we stand on this country with hearts open wide For the Elders before us with wisdom and pride For the land and the water the stars in the sky We pay our respects as the ages go by Now we watch the future start to grow In the steady certain vibrant glow Of the leaders rising strong and clear Carrying the culture holding it dear Every generation a brighter flame Speaking its language calling its name So we stand on this country with hearts open wide For the Elders before us with wisdom and pride For the land and the water the stars in the sky We pay our respects as the ages go by For the ones who came before. For the ones who are here now. And for the ones who are yet to come. We walk together. So we stand on this country with hearts open wide For the Elders before us with wisdom and pride For the land and the water the stars in the sky We pay our respects as the ages go by
