"SOMETHING OF VALUE"
-Eric

I can see the Southern Cross
While here below, bathed in it's
The Dreamtime land safe, snug and tight is
Wrapped in and contentedness
No sounds disturb our rest
While the gentle we've dispossesed are weeping

We took it all by the gun and the
By the right of our and in the name of our God
Though as ourselves, transported, condemned
None knew better than we the of men

We took it all in our and need
Enslaved by our past and consumed by our
And left to beg for the scraps at our door
we called them drunkards and wasters and whores
They've drowning, drowning in their tears
for the two hundread years

England's New Jerusalem
to the Dreamtime land the ships came
with human cattle in convict chains to them
In the grim fight to stay alive
Dreams must to survive
Few could see the glitt'ring before them

We had it all in the of our hand
A new hope, a new dream, a new life, a new
One last chance to from the chains of the past
To build of value, build something to last

This ancient land was a vast empty
Waiting for the great of a brand new age
The future was ours to or profane
A paradise lost, a paradise
Now me, is paradise here,
two hundred years?

So now, beneath the Southern
it's time to tally up the
of we've gained and what we've lost forever
Though much has gone we can't
Those of us who love this
Together now, must and face the future

So here's to us all, we're frail
who wander through mostly helpless and blind
To our and cowardice, our humor and pain
Our hundred steps forward, ninety-nine again

Yes here's to us all, the wise and the
The indifferent, the caring, the kind and the
As we to the beat of an uncertain drum
Stumbling towards we may yet become
the brave new frontiers,
of the two hundred years
