Lyrics

Great Unknown

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

For million of years, the virgin land lay waiting

And nobody new what treasures lay undisturbed

The white man came and settled in easy places

And the black man knew that soon the tide would turn

They took the land and wrote the story

All in the name of king and glory

They came in chains to find the answer

They built on every stone

But on the way they lost the dreamtime

Out in the great unknown

Out in the great unknown

A breed of men, some born in desperation

Had to see for themselves, the legends that they'd heard

To forge a path all the way to the great north ocean

For men have dreams that fly as high as birds

They led the way and hold the story

Still in the name of king and glory

They broke their chains and found an answer

They built with every stone

But on the way they lost the dreamtime

Out in the great unknown

Out in the great unknown

Men of great vision, but alone in this land

They have a mission to do all that they can

What will it mean to future generations?

How will it feel, when we come face to face?

There's only one way to save the situation

The years ahead, like the past, must be embranced

So lead the way and tell the story

All in the name of higher glory

So break the chains and find the answer

Built on every stone

And look to find another dreamtime

Out in the great unknown

Out in the great unknown
