Surfin’ The Log Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Who owns the wind
Cyclones bringin' a storm
Who owns the sun
The light that makes us warm
Who made the log
The log that's in the sea
Who owns the fish
The fish that's in the log
[Chorus]
Surfin' the log
Djalumbu larrakitj
Surfin' the log
Djalumbu larrakitj
[Verse 2]
Who owns the moon
Apollo got nothing on you
Who owns the stars
Sisters in the Milky Way
[Bridge]
Our nation is changing
Shaping the map
Moving together
Bridging the gap
World is changing
No looking back
Seven sisters
On the birdsville track
[Chorus]
Surfing the log
Djalumbu larrakitj (Eye of the fish)
Surfin the log
Djalumbu larrakitj (Circle the wood)
Surfing the log
Djalumbu larrakitj (Eye of the fish)
Surfin the log
Djalumbu larrakitj (Circle the wood)
[Bridge]
Our nation is changing
Shaping the map
Moving together
Bridging the gap
World is changing
No looking back
Seven sisters
On the birdsville track
[Outro]
Surfing the log (Eye of the fish)
Circle the wood
Surfing the log (Eye of the fish)
Djalumbu larrakitj (Circle the wood)
Eye of the fish
Eye of the fish
Circle the wood
Surfing the log (Eye of the fish)
Djalumbu larrakitj (Circle the wood)
Surfin the log (Eye of the fish)
Djalumbu larrakitj (Circle the wood)
