Listen to the Old
Ones
J C Munro
Listen
to the stones that stand and whisper ancient secrets hidden
The old ones here could read the land and share its gifts so freely
given
Chorus
Listen
to the mighty ocean, huge and fragile, dark and slow
The old ones felt its mystic motion, moved as one with ebb and
flow
Chorus
Listen
to the endless bushland, ages now its kept the balance
Here the old ones took and gave, an ancient dreaming frail alliance
Chorus
The
old ones live within us mute and in the stories of the past
Seek the elder tap the root the way ahead lies in the past
