Spirit Bird
Give it time and we wonder why
Do what we can laugh and we cry
And we sleep in your dust
Because we've seen this all before
Culture fades with tears and grace
Leaving us stunned, hollow with shame
We have seen this all, seen this all before
Many tribes of a modern kind
Doing brand new work, same spirit by side
Joining hearts and hand
And ancestral twine, ancestral twine
Many tribes of a modern kind
Doing brand new work, same spirit by side
Joining hearts and hand
And ancestral twine, ancestral twine
Slowly it fades
Slowly we fade
Slowly you fade
Slowly you fade
Spirit bird, she creaks and groans
She knows, she has seen this all before, she has
Seen this all before, she has...
Spirit bird, she creaks and groans
She knows, she has seen this all before, she has
Seen this all before, she has...
Slowly you fade
Slowly it fades
Slowly you fade
Slowly you fade
Soldier on, soldier on, my good country, man
Keep fighting for your culture now
Keep fighting for your land
I know it's been thousands of years
And I feel your hurt
And I know it's wrong
And you feel you've been chained and broken and burned
And those beautiful old people
Those wise old souls have been ground down for far too long
By that spineless man, that greedy man, that heartless man
Deceiving man, by government hand
Taking blood and land, taking blood and land
And still they can
But your dreaming and your warrior spirit lives on
And it is so, so, so strong
In the earth, in the trees, in the rocks
In the water, in your blood and in the air we breath
Soldier on, soldier on, my good country, man
Keep fighting for your children now
Keep fighting for your land
Slowly it fades
Slowly we fade
Slowly you fade
Slowly it fades
Give it time and we wonder why
Do what we can laugh and we cry
And we sleep in your dust
Because we've seen this all before
