Dream time for an ancient land
Dream time for an ancient land
and its native people
songs of the aborigines in the
land of forgotten time
Deep in inner caves
ancient paintings
hand prints sprayed on stone
murals of another time
layers upon layers of when time began
tell a historic tales of tribal lives on a crimson land
oral traditions written in stone
legions of the deep within the bushes soul
Dance to the spirit of the burning flames
painted faces in earth like tones
dream keepers of the earth
where ancient ceremony come to life
in rings of fire beyond a yellow sun
Didgeridoos mystical sounds
echo in the background
of a silver moon as the burning stars
fly over the liquid sky
