I've seen towns overgrowing

Rivers overflowing

And running where they placed

I've been into the teeth of a city

In the shadow of money

And the greedy heart of men

All in all

Despite my questions

I don't know all the answers

And my heart

It will rise and fall

With the rhythm of the dancers

Till the same things bring me joy

As the sun sinks into the water

I will follow forward till I one day understand

I remember voice of my old friend

As he whispered some slogan

When I was too young to know

He said

Loved one

Be captured by no one

It is wild and free and it whistles round my head

All in all

Despite my questions

I don't know all the answers

And my heart

It will rise and fall

With the rhythm of the dancers

Till the same things bring me joy

As the sun sinks into the water

I will follow forward till I one day understand

Is this the place we went looking for

How come the sky don't look like it did before

Sure is beautiful although

The summer is dry and it's scorching

Oh

And it's wild and it's storming

I'm raising up my hands

Well I love

Soul of this country

It's where my heart keeps me

It is australia in my blood

All in all

Despite my questions

I don't know all the answers

And my heart

It will rise and fall

With the rhythm of the dancers

Till the same things bring me joy

As the sun sinks into the water

I will follow forward till I one day

I will follow forward till I one day

I will follow forward till I one day understand
