The Land Boys We Live In Songtext
von Graeme Connors

It′s the land boys we live in
The soil beneath our feet
From the wide open spaces
To the faces in the street
And we've come from the dreaming
To the 21st century
It′s the land boys we live in
And it's home to you and me
It's the first light of morning
On the headland at the bay
A long line of white sand, and an endless perfect wave
It′s the steam slowly rising
From the rainforest floor
And a brief unexpected sun shower
It′s the silence broken by the whipbird's cry
A fly on the water with a rainbow on the right
The timeless sky in an aftershade of blue
And the roar of a thousand cicadas
It′s the land boys we live in
The soil beneath our feet


From the wide open spaces
To the faces in the street
And we've come from the dreaming
To the 21st century
It′s the land boys we live in
And it's home to you and me
It′s a big red shaded by a boab tree
A wedge-tailed eagle as it soars majestically
A sea of wild flowers beneath the desert sun
A frill-necked lizard on the run
It's the land boys we live in
The soil beneath our feet
From the wide open spaces
To the faces in the street
And we've come from the dreaming
To the 21st century
It′s the land boys we live in
And it′s home to you and me
It's the southern aurora
To mark the close of day
The cross on the horizon
Showing travellers the way
A cool breeze floating through the louvers late in the night
And ghost gums dancing in the moonlight
It′s the land boys we live in
The soil beneath our feet
From the wide open spaces
To the faces in the street
And we've come from the dreaming
To the 21st century
It′s the land boys we live in
And it's home to you and me
It′s the land boys we live in
The soil beneath our feet
From the wide open spaces
To the faces in the street
And we've come from the dreaming
To the 21st century
It's the land boys we live in
And it′s home to you and me
