"SOMETHING OF VALUE"
-Eric

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

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

We took it all in our hunger and
Enslaved by our and consumed by our greed
And left them to beg for the at our door
While we called 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 ships came
with human cattle in convict to bind them
In the grim fight just to alive
must struggle to survive
Few could see the glitt'ring prize them

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

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

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

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

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