2.Ghost riders came and with the power of a gun they took his world
People had to run, they tried to fight this brutal scourge
So many fell just a few remained
Rounded up in mission shame
Gathered up their tears and gone
Leaving their sweet water holes
Full of the dreams of a Bulukbara man
Full of the dreams of a Bulukbara man
3.As a child I played and the seasons blew right across my face
I ran where feet had trod, I swam in water that had been loved
Stone tools upon the ground
I picked them up and I couldn't put 'em down
So many questions on my mind
I wish I could go back in time
And see for myself a Bulukbara man
See for myself a Bulukbara man

2.And green rolling plains meet the mountains
Make you catch your breath any time of year
But why does this place seem so empty
Home of my spirit but pain in my heart
3.I see a lot of farms and houses
And I see a lot of damage on that land
And there's not many know what I sing for
They must be living some place else
Some place else
Somewhere different to me

5.The light still shines on fresh water
Moving through green country out there
And there in the west those same old mountains
They keep on pulling me back here
Pulling me back here to where I always wanna be

settled back with a magazine as we rolled on out the Stuart Highway I'd

till it was just the dusty man and me At

2.Daylight swiftly fell away, headlights cut the night like a blade
And the man in dusty clothes hadn't moved
I thought of her so snug and warm, while the dusty man began to snore
And wondered if she was thinking of me
We'd met by chance six months ago and though it's hard I couldn't say no
So every month I ride this bus to meet her
4.The dusty man he leant on me, I tried to straighten him in his seat
Then his hand felt cold in mine
There was no breath upon his face, and no pulse that I could trace
So we rode like that mile after mile
And when the lights of her town appeared I knew that she'd be
waiting there
And I knew the dusty man was at my side

2.This wind that blows knows me now too damn well
I must have been blown to a hundred different places, who can tell
But if I just keep walking under this faithful sky
There'll be a place for me sometime, it might be tonight
Could be right here tonight, I could hang up my wings
Do a good thing, in Melbourne town
3.And I'm walking along with my two best feet ahead of me
And I'd like to think there's always something we can do
To change direction in our lives
Something we can do even in the next half hour
We might do it in Melbourne town, we could do it in Melbourne town
Admit no defeat, we can land on our feet
4.I know there's other places of sand and surf and sunny skies
I know there's a million places money can sell or buy
And I might be swimming against the overwhelming tide
Of northern migration
But I'll have rain, I'll have rain on my shoes, please
Win or lose, rain on my shoes

Cause soon you'll all be gone
As part of a team of a great exploring dream
Let's hope your leaders will know where to go
3.Oh Mr Burke do I really have to go?
You see I've got this awful feeling in my bones
I'm afraid that I won't see my home again
And I dreamt the dingoes were tearing off my clothes
4.I'll give this much to Burke, he was a man of nerve
But he couldn't pick a bushman from a cove
To give spell binder Wright a job just on sight
Was asking for trouble from the word go
5.So it's away, away we go
Away up north out in the great unknown
Well whose idea was it to walk across the country
I say leave the bloody country to the crows
6.After four months of toil and trouble
From the gulf to the Cooper we return
Only to find they'd left nine hours before
And not a soul to help us in our bind
7.Oh Mr Burke where did all the blackfella's go?
Mr Burke, how we gonna make it on our own?
I'd give everything on this day to be four hundred miles away
With a cold beer sloshing in my mouth

For we do not seek destruction and we do not covet greed
We take only what the earth can give and only what we need

So you may take your place in this old world
From the moment of you birth
See how the world spreads from your feet to touch every living thing
So in turn you may live with grace upon this good earth
4.May your step always be firm and true and your heart never be afraid
Of these who seek to ridicule and those who faith has failed
And if someone should help you then you must help ten more in return
For this is the way peace will spread upon this good earth
