With little more than time and sand
A little wind, a spot of rain
Build great cities
Rife with ornament
With their first step
Began their song
Which made the land
I stand upon
No strokes go wrong
She’s always right
And so I learn
What beauty is

I sit upon him
Wondering
At all that is
And ever was
And what it means
And what becomes
In time
With practice
They become
The light

Like when we’re in Kakadu
And it’s October
Which is fall
Except it’s early spring
Yeah, spring in Australia
But even if
You’re nowhere near
The sky is filled
With smoke
