"SOMETHING OF VALUE"
-Eric

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

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

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

From New Jerusalem
to the land the tall ships came
with human cattle in convict chains to bind
In the grim fight just to alive
Dreams must struggle to
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 chains of the
To build of value, build something to last

This ancient land was a vast empty
for the great writers of a brand new age
The was ours to protect or profane
A paradise lost, a paradise
Now tell me, is here,
two hundred years?

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

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

Yes to us all, the wise and the fools
The indifferent, the caring, the and the cruel
As we to the beat of an uncertain drum
Stumbling towards we may yet become
Towards the new frontiers,
of the next two years
