The True North Songtext
von Peter Garrett

We hold these truths in trust, forever now
And hopeful in our hearts, we resolve
To lift the burden of our days
Now magnified in the true north

Beyond the stars, we will prevail
To hold safe water, land, and love
Answering to Capricorn
Big small families, one and all
In the true north


But where the South Serras
Or we make them
From Cape to Kimberley via Mojubebe

It′s the oldest living human
All praise to those who won't be swayed
This kinship and conscience sees them standin′

In the flat planes, seasons lightning
Red rock, white water living colours
Of the true north

All praise to those who won't be swayed (all praise to those who won't be swayed)
To acknowledge now, sees them standing
In the wetlands′, life still teaming across the greatest garment-leading
To the true north
