Lyrics

From the outback and cities to the snowy mountains high

In the building of a nation something's passed us by

We saw the gold and we joined the rush but we never saw a

people crushed

We just cut 'em off and let their spirit die

There's a day to be remembered and it's not so long ago

When the children all were taken from those we didn't know

And some of us we closed our eyes and our ears they never

heard the cries

Of the mothers who had no more tears to flow

But there's a new breeze a'blowin' through this great and

ancient land

And it's telling us a story for all to understand

While there's sadness and there's pain, it can bring us hope

again, as we walk on together

Yes there's a new breeze a'blowin' through this great and.

ancient land

And it's telling us a story for all to understand

While there's sadness and there's pain, it can bring us hope

again, as we walk on together hand in hand

And the virtues of our history are well known

But the sorry times we also need to own

From the mountains and the forests to the dry and dusty

plains

There's a season for the sun and there's a season for the rains

And since those years when they were never known you can

see the children a'comin' home

And a people can now be free again

But there's a new breeze a'blowin' through this great and

ancient land

And it's telling us a story for all to understand

While there's sadness and there's pain, it can bring us hope

again, as we walk on together

Yes there's a new breeze a'blowin' through this great and.

ancient land

And it's telling us a story for all to understand

While there's sadness and there's pain, it can bring us hope

again, as we walk on together hand in hand

As we walk on together, and we walk on together,

Yes we walk on together, hand in hand
