"SOMETHING OF VALUE"
-Eric

I can see the Southern Cross
While here below, in it's light
The Dreamtime land safe, and tight is sleeping
in complacency and contentedness
No discordant disturb our rest
the gentle souls we've dispossesed are weeping

We it all by the gun and the sword
By the right of our and in the name of our God
Though as outcasts ourselves, transported,
None knew better we the injustice of men

We took it all in our hunger and
Enslaved by our past and by our greed
And left them to beg for the scraps at our
While we called drunkards and wasters and whores
They've been drowning, drowning in tears
for the last two years

From England's New
to the Dreamtime land the tall came
with human cattle in convict chains to them
In the grim fight just to stay
must struggle to survive
Few could see the glitt'ring prize before

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

This ancient land was a empty page
Waiting for the great writers of a new age
The future was ours to or profane
A paradise lost, a paradise
Now me, is paradise here,
after two years?

So now, beneath the Southern
it's time to up the cost
of what we've gained and what lost forever
Though much has we can't replace
of us who love this place
Together now, turn and face the future

So here's to us all, frail humankind
who wander through mostly helpless and blind
To our and cowardice, our humor and pain
Our hundred forward, ninety-nine 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
Towards the new frontiers,
of the next two hundred
