      D
Where ancient mountains are whittled down

D
Millions of years to a little mound

D                            Em7/D
Where giant feet are fossil found

       D
I see spinifex surfing on a dune,

D
The rock is redder in the afternoon

D                      Em7/D
Tourists clicking madly soon

     Em7/D
Where spring will come with any rain

Em7/D
A chance to flower and seed again

Em7/D
Forever garden risin' plain

                         D        Em7/D
The dangers of the wild remain

    D
And away up there where the wind is blown

D                      
Never before felt so alone

                       Em7/D
More aware of skin and bone

D
I watch the parade of human folk

D
Strips of rubber, cans of Coke

D                       Em7/D
Making dust and blowing smoke

Em7/D
Where the awe-inspiring power of time

Em7/D
Leave some fearful, some sublime

Em7/D
White man finds his progress prime

                            D        Em7/D
Black man feels no urge to climb

    D
Now I believe we all are one

D
Features and creatures in the sun

D                        Em7/D
Breathing the air we all belong

  D
I have a dream I can't explain

D                    
Wattle soldiers, making claim

                     Em7/D
And paradise returns again

Em7/D
Where spring will come with any rain

Em7/D
A chance to flower and seed again

Em7/D
Forever garden risin' plain

                         D
The dangers of the wild remain

Em7/D
Where the awe-inspiring power of time

Em7/D
Leave some fearful, some sublime

Em7/D                  
White man finds his progress prime

                            D
Black man feels no urge to climb
