Great Unknown Songtext
von Little River Band

For millions of years, the virgin land lay waiting
And nobody knew what treasures lay undisturbed
The white man came, and settled in easy places
And the black man knew that soon the tide would turn

They took the land and wrote the story, all in the name of king and glory
They came in chains to find the answer they built on every stone
But on the way, they lost the dream time, out in the great unknown
Out in the great unknown

A breed of men, some born in desperation
Had to see for themselves, the legends that they′d heard
To forge a path all the way to the great north ocean
For men have dreams that fly as high as birds


They led the way and told the story, still in the name of king and glory
They broke their chains and found an answer they built with every stone
But on the way they lost the dream time, out in the great unknown
Out in the great unknown

Men of great vision, but alone in this land
They have a mission to do all that they can

What will it mean to future generations?
How will it feel when we come face to face?
There's only one way to save the situation
The years ahead, like the past, must be embraced

So lead the way tell the story, all in the name of your own glory
So break the chains and find the answer built on every stone
And look to find another dream time, out in the great unknown

So break the chains, and find the answer built on every stone
And look to find another dream time, out in the great unknown
Out in the great unknown
