Great Southern Land,
once lost in time,
drifting in Pacific seas,
guarding your secrets well.
Pristine mountains and forests untouched by man,
shaping life to preserve the earth,
and soft treading creatures that cause no harm .

Teeming rain to spur the growth for lighting fires,
which set the seed,
wandering drought when wind won't change,
to regulate the pulse of life,
and cull the mobs that feed,
so the earth may rest.

And the searing heat which make all gasp and flee,
the burning baking sun,
all is still while whirlies dance,
and tease the dry creek bed and the black
crow scurry to find the almost dead.

Flash floods that scour the plain and carry
those that died in vain,
but the desert blooms
and grass returns to feed the saved,
and so the rhythm goes on,
for the Land gives birth and death to all,
but grants no favours however small.
