Island bound
Surly wild
Forged in chains
Oppressed dressed
As oppressing
Freedom is bought
Deserted gardens
Hanging livid skies
Where boulders roam
Springing creeks
Cracking crevices
Here She once roamed
Mother in Rainbow
Squirming aloud
Clothed in loneliness
Spawning rivers
Birthing gorges
Whilst digesting stars
Here is Eden
Forgotten overgrown
Lost amongst continents
Tended by Spirits
Oldest of Known
Only The Ancients know
Birth has a Place
Of most fertile soils
Where rests Alive
Without name or form
Oldest yet ageless
Burning but without flame
Discovery is edict
Beware
We come
So much empty
Let us uncover
Let us hew from stone
We alike ants nesting
Sought to thrive
Motivated all of us
By the simple need to survive
And now Look See
Our towers reach
Reach to the stars
Crystal harbours drinking
Azure seas
Light bright Beaming
Diamond Rays
Making fruit sweeter
Here milk and honey flows
Youthful nation
Lucky country
Built by hand
Every single street around
By men hardened
By women emboldened
Strong and Proud
Home for anyone
Refugees from every land
Conscience at hand
Singing our Song
All this we have won
Above around
Spirits glow
Ancestors nod Elders applaud As they ever
Look upon
