Could we rest here a while
While that hot desert sun beats down
Could we spend some time
And dream of how it all began
Close my eyes and listen to the sounds
Women chatter and the children are running around
Open my heart and I feel that fire burn
This is my chance to learn
Everything we need is here
Love, water, shelter and food
Time has no need here
We are living by the sun, the stars, and the moon
Close my eyes and listen to the sound
Women chatter and the children running round
Open my heart and I feel that fire burn
This is my chance to learn
So many hands have made this bread
So many souls have stood where I stand
So many feet have walked this road
And now the story is told
Kids are making boats to sail on the billabong
Someone's cooking up a storm yeah
Kites are flying overhead
Their wings are making shadows
Making shadows on this land
Close my eyes and listen to the sounds
Women chatter and the children running round
Open my heart and I feel that fire burn
This is my chance to learn
