Lyrics
| Walking down a forest trail among the hills of fire I hear the echo of a clap stick on the wind An eaglehawk flies overhead and drops a golden feather And I am but a stranger in this ancient land. William Barak, Winberrie, I’m dreaming of what could’ve been Birrarung, River of Mists, your banks were overflowing Wurundjeri, Bunurong, so many Kulin people gone There was a time not long ago when all the earth was breathing Nangaween, Billibellary, keepers of the dreamtime stories “We all turn to bones, shining white Let’s climb the hill of golden stones near the place they call Toolangi Eagle star, light our way, what else can a white man say |
