Sing You The Outback

I'll sing you the desert, where blackmen sailed

Waterhole to water, where whitemen failed

See the face of dreamers, forgotten souls

Hear the voice of cattlemen crackle in the coals

Maybe we will learn what's written in the sand

A thousand generations living off the land

I'll sing you the waters, runnin' through the town

Wildflowers and Wattles when it settles down

The Outback is impossible, forever and it's free

No way can I find an end to what it means to me

The Outback

I'll sing you the miners, steel and coal

Opals and diamonds, silver and gold

Emeralds and sapphires, I wish for you

Holes in the outback, down below

There's lakes and there's rivers, caves to be found

And there's another landscape underground

I'll sing you the waters runnin' through the town

Wildflowers and Wattles when it settles down

The backbone of the women who fight on and on

The healing of the sunset when all is said and done

The Outback is impossible, forever and it's free

No way can I find an end to what it means to me

To what it means to me

The Outback
