lyrics

Right before our eyes © Kym Pitman

I watch the falling rain - everywhere I see
Changing the course of the river
Right before my eyes
Shifting stone and shifting sand
It’s washed out my crossing and taken my land

Should I leave now, should I wait it out

Land grows tired and parched - wind tears at my life
Changing the way of country
Right before our eyes
Sun bleached bones and lifting soil
Turn the sky to dust - all our work our toil

Should we leave now, should we wait it out
If it’s not flood its drought

Fire roars from hell - steals the summer sky
Changing the meaning of Christmas
Right before our eyes
And those who can - flee burning dreams
This great grey land - not as it seemed

Should we leave now - should we fight it out
If it’s not flood its fire and drought
Can we find a way - sort this out
We’ve still got time but it’s running out

The heat’s getting hotter - wet’s getting wetter –
The South’s getting drier - sea’s coming higher
Ice is getting thinner - there’s no winners now

Here at the mercy of the land
We’ve gotta move together like shifting sand
And find a way to work it out - see what we can do without
Find a way all together


For our children
For their children and their children and their children’s children…...
For the creatures - the forest - flowers - rivers and the oceans
For the stories and a thousand generations dancing this land
For the wildness - glaciers - reefs - the beauty
For the colours and the wonder - love and a sense of peace on earth
For the children
