Standing at the limit of an endless ocean
Stranded like a runaway lost at sea
City on a rainy day down in the harbor
Watching as the gray clouds shadow the bay
Looking everywhere 'cause I had to find you
This is not the way that I remember it here
Anyone will tell you it's a prisoner island
Hidden in the summer for a million years
Great Southern Land
Great Southern Land
So, you look into the land, it will tell you a story
Story 'bout a journey ended long ago
Listen to the motion of the wind in the mountains
Maybe you can hear them talking like I do
They're gonna betray you, they're gonna forget you
Are you gonna let them take you over that way?
Great Southern Land
Great Southern Land
You walk alone
Like a primitive man
And they make it work
With sticks and bones
I see their hungry eyes
It's a hungry home
Great Southern Land
Great Southern Land
Great Southern Land
Great Southern Land
Great Southern Land
Great Southern Land
Great Southern Land
You walk alone
Like a primitive man
You walk alone
With the ghost of time
And they burned you black
Yeah, they burned you black
Great Southern Land
