Blissfully true
Honestly real
An admiration
For my lonely days without you
Second to none
A love big enough to measure all the stars
Larger than Life
A smile so bright
To light up all my days
When all of the while
I couldn’t see
You building devotion and delight
If there is that place
Now I gotta run
It’s here, you’re looking back on me
You were the sugar and the cream
Gluing the family dream
You were a healer of hearts
Our matriarch
Second to none
A love big enough to measure all the stars
Larger than Life
A smile so bright
To light up all my days
When all the while
I couldn’t see you
Building devotion and delight
If there is a place
I wanna run
It’s here, you’re looking back on me
I know you're close
Not far from me
When I cross over
You'll be calling out to me

Don't Give Up On Me

I don’t know if he’s the one for me
Cause he that fire, then that evening breeze we been through all the walls
Been through it all
Never thought we end up this free
Wasn’t easy
You, you never gave up on me
Baby don’t stop loving me
You know, I’m not that easy to please
Baby don’t give up on me
Don’t, don’t give up on (x 2)
See I was the once jealous
And made feel ashamed
Never felt respected
Needed to get up and change my way
Looking for that head strong
Just looking for the right one
Challenge me for all my days
Make me change my ways
It wasn’t easy
Cause you never gave up on me
Baby don’t stop loving me
You know I’m not that easy to please, yeah
Bridge:
Wanna really make it
Wanna stop fighting
Boy I wanna try this time
Need to really make it
Wanna be your woman
Babe I’m ready for this life
(It’s more than enough
Need you to ease my trouble mind)
Don’t give up, don’t give up
Don’t give up
Don’t give up ooh

Hold On

Boy you know I’m into you
Do all the things we wanna do
Cause you treat me the way I like it
It’s not about making a fuss
It’s all leading right back to us
Try to take your time
Like the way you take your time
Hold on, hold on taking time
Wanna take time, wanna take time you know it
Hold on, hold on taking time
I’m lovin’ the way you’re taking your time
You show it
Now wouldn't you agree with me
Things they happen naturally
When we never have to fight it
We took the time that we both had
That time we’ll never get back
We went round and round but we tried it
We went round and round but we tried things
Bridge
Slow it down baby we got nowhere to go
in a hurry
Hold it on baby we got no place to be
When we get there baby,
It will be the right time you know it
Hold it on baby, hold on, hold on

Get on ya feet
We're takin it to the streets
Walk that beat
Get up and be
New leaders we need
Be the voice that now speak
Shouting your language free
Marching it through the streets
Wearing our colours proud
Red, Yellow and Black
Screaming Land Rights
Reclaiming everything back
Walk that beat
Ain’t gonna turn back now
Let nobody put us down
Bring it back right through this town
Marching on and on
Get up on your feet
We're gonna take it to the streets
Remember we have survived
Walk for our black lives
Walk for who paved the way
Remember we’re here today
Walk ‘cause you believe
In what will always be
People will come for days
Walking the old ways
We’re sick of the talk
Walk, brother walk
Gonna walk that beat
Ain’t gonna turn back now
Let nobody put us down
Bring the power back through this town
Marching on sacred ground
solo
We want Justice for all, for all of the lies
We don’t want no more, racist prejudice
Bring back our strength
Just here on the streets
Get the real message we need
Re-writing our history
Walking through the streets
Always was
Always will be
Always was
Always will be
Aboriginal Land
Sacred Land
Mother Land
Home Land

Pink Skirt
05:09

Seven o’clock in the morning
That train would roll in
A country-link from Macksville
Looking for my nannas pink skirt and brown skin
Daddy would take my brother and me
And we'd start running
Up the platform through the people
Scream when called her name
Standing there with a pillow case and a few things for the weekend
Was our Nanna, was our Nanna
Mumma tell me them stories
‘Bout when you were young
‘Bout how are we all connected
Whos name do we carry and who’s my blood
See I've been thinking ‘bout Nanna
And her Dhangatti ways
Up Tarooka and Turners Flat
Fishing out in the rain
Standing there patiently waiting
With a bobby cork and fish jumping
Was our Nanna, was our Nanna
Now I’ve got my daughter
Standing strong like a Jirriga tree
See I’ve been Passing on these stories
Passing on my mother’s knowledge and Nanna’s things
If there is one thing I can teach her
One thing I want to know
Remember where she came from
A long line of blood so strong
These few words I’ll remind her
That always came from my mother and from my Nanna, from my Nanna

Leftovers

How much we got left of the leftovers?
How much of the rent, can I spend?
See my money’s gone before I got it
Paying back still tryin’ to get ahead
How much we got left of the leftovers?
How much of my rent, can I spend?
I’m always the one who got to borrow
Paying back still tryin’ to get a head
I try to make it last all week long
I’m beginning to look so desperate
Burning all my bridges
See I don’t go to the parties
I just pay all my bills
I put food in the cupboard
Then I got nothing to play with
How much we got left from the leftovers?
How much of my rent, can I spend?
I’m always the one who got to borrow
Paying back still tryin’ to get ahead

Widing || Wirraal-wirraada ngaya.

Emma’s translation:
Hurting at Warrell Creek was I; hurting at Warrell Creek was I. In the smoke I was bathed; in the massive smoke, on the lagoon, in the sea-storm.

Pretty One

Who will be that one?
That will be with you in this life
Go through the ups and the downs
But find a way stay above
Like rainbows in the sky
Hey you caught my eye
From everything that could’ve gone wrong that time
I never knew you’d come along
Who will be that one?
That will be with you in this life
And who’ll stand by your side
Who’ll never back down when things get tough
I can’t wait to be with you ‘til the end
I call you my love, my friend
I call, I call
I’ll call, I’ll call no other love
Just like the rain
That rain that came and poured
We were both standing out in that pain
But I didn’t care who took them falls
I’ll call now, I’ll call
I’ll call no other love
We all meet that one
Who gonna be with you in this life?
Go through the ups and the downs
But find a way to stay above
I call on no other love
I call you my friend I call
Never back down I call
In this life I call
I call on no other love
I call you my friend I call
Never back down I call
In this life I call
