Where?-Kate Miller-Heidke

[00:15.586] Now the land is bare and brown [00:23.652] And the wind blows empty cross the plains [00:33.703] I have walked these plains for the whole memory of my soul [00:46.461] [00:57.066] And the soul of my mothers [01:06.430] And the soul of my father’s fathers [01:16.839] We have been the life of these plains, ghosts on these plains [01:32.581] The wind once full [01:41.293] The grass once green [01:45.982] There were plants in our hands [01:54.711] The time seems so long ago, now [02:08.691] Where is the rich dark earth brown and moist? [02:20.122] Where is the smell of rain dripping from gumtrees? [02:32.544] [02:57.252] Everything familiar is gone [03:05.891] Everything I counted on [03:14.834] I can’t run [03:18.217] I can’t swim away from this land [03:27.452] Where is the rich dark earth brown and moist? [03:39.468] Where is the smell of rain dripping from gumtrees? [03:51.124] Where are the billabongs? [03:56.038] The long legged birds? [04:01.402] Where are the rivers, they used to flow clear [04:10.133] Now they’re eaten by mud [04:17.608] Who will save us? [04:37.125] From the rabbits?
