Spirit Bird 歌詞
Spirit Bird - Xavier Rudd
Give it time and wonder why
Do what we can laugh and we cry and
We sleep in your dust
Because we've seen this all before
Culture fades with tears and grace
Leaving us stunned hollow with shame
We have seen this all seen this all before
Many tribes of a modern kind
Doing brand new work
Same spirit by side
Joining hearts and hand
And ancestral twine ancestral twine
Many tribes of a modern kind
Doing brand new work
Same spirit by side
Joining hearts and hand
And ancestral twine ancestral twine
Slowly it fades
Slowly we fade
Slowly it fade
Slowly we fade
Spirit bird she creaks and groans
She knows she has
Seen this all before she has
Seen this all before she has
Spirit bird she creaks
And groans she knows she has
Seen this all before she has
Seen this all before she has
Slowly it fades
Slowly you fade
Slowly you fade
Slowly you fade
Slowly you fade
Soldier on soldier on my good country man
Keep fighting for your culture
Now keep fighting for your land
I know it's been thousands of years and
I feel your hurt and I know it's wrong and
You feel you've been chained and broken and burned
And those beautiful old people
Those wise old souls have been ground down
For far too long by that spineless
Man that greedy man that hearless
Man deceiving man government hand taking blood
And land taking blood and land and still
They can but your dreaming and your
Warrior spirit lives on and it is so so so strong
In the earth in the trees in the rocks in the water
In your blood and in the air we breath
Soldier on soldier on my good country man
Keep fighting for your children
Now keep fighting for your land
Slowly it fades slowly we fade slowly
You fade slowly it fades
Give it time and we wonder
Why do what we can laugh
And we cry and we sleep in your dust
Because we've seen it all before
