I'll sing you the desert, where blackmen sailed Waterhole to water, where whitemen failed See the face of dreamers, forgotten souls Hear the voice of cattlemen crackle in the coals Maybe we will learn what's written in the sand A thousand generations living off the land I'll sing you the waters, runnin' through the town Wildflowers and Wattles when it settles down The Outback is impossible, forever and it's free No way can I find an end to what it means to me The Outback I'll sing you the miners, steel and coal Opals and diamonds, silver and gold
Emeralds and sapphires, I wish for you Holes in the outback, down below There's lakes and there's rivers, caves to be found And there's another landscape underground I'll sing you the waters runnin' through the town Wildflowers and Wattles when it settles down The backbone of the women who fight on and on The healing of the sunset when all is said and done The Outback is impossible, forever and it's free No way can I find an end to what it means to me To what it means to me The Outback
