"SOMETHING OF VALUE"
-Eric

I can see the Southern tonight
While below, bathed in it's light
The Dreamtime land safe, snug and tight is
Wrapped in and contentedness
No discordant sounds our rest
While the gentle souls dispossesed are weeping

We took it all by the gun and the
By the right of our and in the name of our God
Though as outcasts ourselves, transported,
knew better than we the injustice of men

We it all in our hunger and need
Enslaved by our past and consumed by our
And them to beg for the scraps at our door
we called them drunkards and wasters and whores
They've been drowning, drowning in their
for the two hundread years

England's New Jerusalem
to the Dreamtime land the tall ships
with human in convict chains to bind them
In the grim fight just to alive
Dreams must to survive
Few could see the glitt'ring prize before

We had it all in the palm of our
A new hope, a new dream, a new life, a new
One last chance to break from the of the past
To build something of value, build to last

This ancient was a vast empty page
Waiting for the great writers of a new age
The was ours to protect or profane
A paradise lost, a gained
Now tell me, is here,
after two hundred

So now, the Southern Cross
time to tally up the cost
of what we've gained and what lost forever
Though has gone we can't replace
Those of us who love place
Together now, turn and face the future

So here's to us all, we're frail
who wander through life helpless and blind
To our courage and cowardice, our humor and
Our hundred steps forward, back again

Yes here's to us all, the wise and the
The indifferent, the caring, the kind and the
As we to the beat of an uncertain drum
Stumbling towards we may yet become
the brave new frontiers,
of the next two years
