Do you hear the voices calling
With a whisper and a cry
Do you feel the gentle turning
Of the quiet eye
Do you hear the drum beginning
Do you hear it echo back
Oh I can feel your heartbeat oh
When we're on the track
And I can hear the four winds blowing wide and high
And I can feel the breezes moving by my side
I can hear the voices calling across the miles
Oh I can feel your heart beat
When you're next to mine
And we're on the track
Yes we're on the track
We're on the track
Yes we're on the track and we sing
Mama ah ya, mama ah yo, mama ah ya yeah…
Tilba to Tanja, Bermi and back
Singing the same song, hearts on the same track
Narooma to Tathra, Bermi and back
We’ll take the coast road and see you when we get back

The Baobab
05:43

Underneath the thunder of the African sky
Stood the tallest giant ever known to humankind
And far beneath the canopy the story’s told how
Secrets sleep beneath… the baobab tree
Underneath the thunder of the African sky
The grandest tree twisted thirty metres high
And handed down the generations
legend goes that men made peace beneath… the baobab tree
Beneath the moon
Underneath the starry sky
I’ll lay me down to sleep
Beneath the sun
Underneath the canopy
I’ll sing to the baobab tree
As the sun sets beneath the African sky
The baobab’s silhouette is cast upon the fire
And cooling the savannah’s heat the shadows come
And lovers dance beneath… the baobab tree
Adansonia, Adansonia
Adansonia, Adansonia
Once upon a time there was a girl like me
And she sang little songs to her beloved giant tree
The elemental spirits came to hear her pray:
Oh keep me safe beneath… the baobab tree
Set me free beneath… my baobab tree
I’ll be right here underneath the baobab tree
I will lay me down beneath the baobab tree
I will love you underneath the baobab tree
I will love you, I will love you
I will love you, love you
Under my Adansonia, Adansonia
Adansonia, Adansonia
Africa, Madagascar, Australia
Is our home
Africa, Madagascar, Australia

This Heart of the World

|

And our voices will awaken this heart of the world
Ever waiting for the whisper and the call
And as we listen closely leaning into the divine
The sweetest indication of love, will soar
And we will raise this heart of the world
Yes we will raise this heart of the world
We’re gonna raise this heart, we’re gonna raise
We’re gonna raise this heart of the world

The Gift

There is a gift we carry gently
Hoping that life can hold it
And there’s a truth we feel so deeply, oh…
There is a quiet joy that guides us
Moving to bring us closer
It makes us whole and always inspires us
And we are walking together, singing together
Dancing on the earth with each other
Walking together, singing together, dancing on the earth
There is a place we carry inside us
Hoping that life can hold it
And every breath we take reminds us
There is a trust that life is bringing
Moving to bring us closer
We offer our voice and hear the singing
And we will shine with life
And feel the depth of all that’s sacred
And stand in truth with all that we create
And we’ll be walking, singing, dancing on the earth
Laughing, weeping, with an open heart
And we’ll be walking together, singing together
Dancing on the earth with each other
Laughing together, weeping together, with an open heart
There is a gift we carry gently
Hoping that life can hold it
And there’s a truth we feel so deeply, oh…
