Slim Dusty unites both Aboriginal and white Australian culture in this optimistic, upbeat track using awe of the natural beauty of Uluru/Ayers Rock as a commonality between cultures.
[Chorus]
There's a rainbow over the rock
And the Sun has started shinin'
I just see a flock of cockatoos fly by
And I see a silver linin'
On the clouds as they roll on
Bringing life to the desert and stock
And you've gotta believe in a god
When there's a rainbow over the rock
[Verse 1]
Call it Ayers Rock or Uluru
They both mean much the same
Named after our ancestors
From both our yesterdays
Now here we stand on common ground
Still drenched from the desert rain
In awe of what's before us
And breathin' in being Australian
[Chorus]
And there's a rainbow over the rock
And the Sun has started shining
I just see a flock of cockatoos fly by
And I see a silver linin'
On the clouds as they roll on
Bringing life to the desert and stock
And you've gotta believe in dream time
When there's a rainbow over the rock
[Verse 2]
There stands that magic, majestic rock
The rain has washed her clean
Dressed in the colors of the rainbow
As if for a new beginnin'
And there's a brand new day in the horizon
And there's a brand new feelin' in the air
And now that the dust has settled
Advance Australia fair
[Chorus]
There's a rainbow over the rock
And the Sun has started shinin'
I just see a flock of cockatoos fly by
And I see a silver linin'
On the clouds as they roll on
Bringing life to the desert and stock
And you've gotta believe in a god
When there's a rainbow over the rock
And you've gotta believe in dreamtime
When there's a rainbow over the rock
And you've gotta believe together
When there's a rainbow over the rock
