lyrics
I watch you dance
Didjerido
Connection to the spirits
Of this land
This sacred land
Ancient land
The dust rises as you dance here
Emotions are stirring
The stories that you dance here
They fill some place of yearning
The creatures that you dance of
They weave their animal magic
A love that runs deeper
Through mystical understanding
Through my eyes I see you
Standing so strong in your culture
Though history has changed the course of the journey
I am inspired by your spirituality
Today you have given me my sense of place
Today I am a part of everything
I watch you dance
Didjerido
Connection to the spirits
Of this land
This sacred land
Ancient land
