In the heart of the land where the rivers flow, Indigenous tribes and their cultures glow, Through the trials they face, they rise and they bend, Like a boomerang’s flight, they return again. In the plains where buffalo roam so free, Lakota songs rise, like wind through the trees, Spirit and earth in unity's call, They dance with the heartbeat of it all. Each continent is different, yet hearts beat as one, From deserts to tundras, their stories have spun, From the mountains to the rivers, their heritage flows, In the strength of their people, resilience grows. High in the Andes where skies touch the ground, Aymara voices in echoes resound, Sun and moon guard fields they sow, Life in the peaks, where rivers flow. Each continent is different, yet hearts beat as one, From deserts to tundras, their stories have spun, From the mountains to the rivers, their heritage flows, In the strength of their people, resilience grows. In northern lights and snowy land, Sami lead reindeer hand in hand, The Arctic winds sing ancient lore, In icy breath, their spirits soar. Each continent is different, yet hearts beat as one, From deserts to tundras, their stories have spun, From the mountains to the rivers, their heritage flows, In the strength of their people, resilience grows. Along the Nile’s eternal flow, Nubian hearts in rhythm grow, With pyramids and sand so wide, They stand with history at their side. Each continent is different, yet hearts beat as one, From deserts to tundras, their stories have spun, From the mountains to the rivers, their heritage flows, In the strength of their people, resilience grows. In Hokkaido’s forests deep and wild, The Ainu’s spirit fierce, yet mild, Bear and tree their sacred kin, A quiet strength, like roots within. Each continent is different, yet hearts beat as one, From deserts to tundras, their stories have spun, From the mountains to the rivers, their heritage flows, In the strength of their people, resilience grows. Where red earth meets a boundless sky, Dreamtime whispers as night draws nigh, Ancestor songs in sands remain, A timeless land of sun and rain. From the Lakota plains where the buffalo roam, To Aymara heights where the Andes call home, In Sámi lands beneath the northern lights, Nubians by the Nile, standing strong in their rights. Ainu voices rise from Hokkaido’s trees, Australian Aboriginals dance with the breeze. Together they sing, their spirits entwined, Boomerangs of culture, forever aligned.

Verse 1: Sometimes I feel like I’m drinkin’ alone, Me only true mate is me beat-up old phone, The outback I roam in, this sunburnt ol' land, Lonely as I am, a cold one in hand. Verse 2: I cruise dusty roads, 'cause they know me best, Walk through the bush, findin' shade for a rest, She feels me tough days, and she cools me with breeze, And worries come round, like flies and mozzies. Chorus: I don't ever wanna feel like I did that night, Take me to me fav’rite pub, where the beers are right, I don't ever wanna feel like I did that night, Take me to me fav’rite spot, where the stars shine bright. Post-Chorus: Yeah, yeah, yeah, mate. Verse 3: It's hard to believe there’s no cobbers ‘round, Hard to believe I’m out here, no sound, At least I’ve got this land, she’s always here for me, Lonely as I am, she knows what I see. Chorus: I don't ever wanna feel like I did that night, Take me to me fav’rite pub, where the beers are right, I don't ever wanna feel like I did that night, Take me to me fav’rite spot, where the stars shine bright.

Outro: (Under the bridge out back) Where I found me peace, (Under the bridge out back) With me mind at ease, (Under the bridge out back) Left worries all behind, (Under the bridge out back) Gave this life o’ mine, yeah. Yeah, yeah. (Away) Oh, nah, nah nah nah, yeah yeah. (Away) Under the stars, yeah yeah. (Away) Where I'll stay.
Verse 1: Oi, listen up, mate, here’s a yarn, ‘Bout a bloke out back on his farm, Everything’s blue, fair dinkum it’s true, From his stubby to his ute, his flanno too. Blue’s his shed, his old Commodore, Blue esky chillin’ out by the door, Got blue gum trees as far as ya see, And he’s blue ‘cause he’s lonely as a bloke can be. Chorus: I'm blue, oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Yeah, I’m blue, oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day. Verse 2: Got me a blue shack with a blue tin roof, Blue thongs, blue socks, I swear it’s the truth, Blue trackies on the washing line, And me blue stubby holder’s mighty fine. Blue kangaroos jumpin’ round the yard, Blue as the beer in me chilly bin jarred, Blue are me thoughts as I sip on me brew, And blue are the feels when the day is through.

Verse 3: Got a blue ute parked out in the sun, And me blue heeler’s ready to run, Blue gum smoke as we light the fire, Me blue sky dreams just reachin' higher. Blue are the mates who wander ‘round, Out here in blue gum country ground, Blue’s the sunset, the stars up high, Blue as the stories I’m tellin’ tonight. Chorus: I'm blue, oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Yeah, I’m blue, oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day, Oi roo-di-da-di-day.

(Verse 1) In the heart of the island, it stands so proud, A land of great history, with voices loud. From the Romans to Normans, the battles we've fought, Kings and queens, all the stories we've got! (Chorus) England, oh England, from the hills to the sea, From the Lake District valleys to London’s bright streets. Where the past and the future come together so free, England, oh England, the place to be! (Verse 2) Big Ben’s tick-tock and the red buses roll, The Queen's at Buckingham, in her royal stroll. Stonehenge is standing with mysteries untold, The White Cliffs of Dover, so regal, so bold! (Chorus) England, oh England, from the hills to the sea, From the Lake District valleys to London’s bright streets. Where the past and the future come together so free, England, oh England, the place to be! (Bridge) Tea time at four, with scones and jam, Football's a passion, we cheer for our clan. Shakespeare’s words, they still light up the stage, And cricket's our game, on a sun-dappled day. (Verse 3) Oxford and Cambridge, where knowledge is king, A song for the Beatles, let the music ring! The pubs are full, with laughter and cheer, From Cornwall to Newcastle, we hold what’s dear! (Chorus) England, oh England, from the hills to the sea, From the Lake District valleys to London’s bright streets. Where the past and the future come together so free, England, oh England, the place to be! (Outro) With a history rich and a future so bright, England, you’re shining in morning’s first light. From countryside green to the cities so grand, England, oh England, forever we stand!

[Verse] Well I rode that old trail thought I knew every mile Had my boots had my hat I was walkin' with style But the dust kept on risin' the wind never slowed And I kept on believin' in stories untold [Verse 2] Saw a shadowy figure in the twilight's last gleam With a gaze like a wildfire it shattered my dream Said “The heart is a highway not paved in pure gold” And the tales that they whisper will leave you so cold [Chorus] Killin' my darlings they fall in the night Swept by the river washed out by the light Each memory forsaken each promise I cry In a land of forgotten where lovers must die [Verse 3] In the silence of moonlight where secrets reside Love and despair like fast rivers collide I held to your echo it's slipped from my hand Wanderin' the wasteland where heartache is planned [Chorus] Killin' my darlings they fall in the night Swept by the river washed out by the light Each memory forsaken each promise I cry In a land of forgotten where lovers must die [Bridge] Through the thorny briar where wild roses bloom Even the fairest will meet darkest doom Lyrics and heartache are just part of the show In the theater of shadows we'll reap what we sow
[Verse] I roam the streets of distant lands But my heart's in the soil where I tread A flag that waves above the sands Echoes stories that we've bled [Chorus] Winds of my homeland call my name Across the seas we are the same No matter where my feet may tread I'll find my way back home instead [Verse 2] In crowded cities far and vast I carry memories of our past A melting pot of laughs and tears We’ve built a legacy that endears [Chorus] Winds of my homeland call my name Across the seas we are the same No matter where my feet may tread I'll find my way back home instead [Bridge] Borders may divide us wide But in our hearts we coincide Under skies so vast and blue Our spirit flows Forever true [Verse 3] Embrace the cultures Hear the sound In every corner We're renowned But when the sun sets down to rest I feel my homeland is the best
Pamilihan, may kwento, Mga pangarap, totoo. Isang tingin, ibang mundo, Lahat ng tao, buo. Bukas na mundo, bawat hakbang, Sa pamilihan, lakas na walang hanggan. Bili't benta, sama-sama, Pag-asa’y abot-kamay, para sa masa. Opsyon saan ka man, Mga bagay na pinagmulan. Kasama ang bawat isa, Nagkakaisa sa tuwa. Salamat sa ugnayan, Buhay may kulay ngayon. Hindi lang pera ang dala, Kundi damdamin, ligaya. (Repeat) Bukas na mundo, bawat hakbang, Sa pamilihan, lakas na walang hanggan. Bili't benta, sama-sama, Pag-asa’y abot-kamay, para sa masa. Bukas na mundo, tayo'y sama-sama, Kwento ng bawat isa, tuloy ang sigla.
[Verse] Deep in the forest where the shadows creep, A jazzy goblin never sleeps, He strums his lute by the fire's bright, Singing his tunes to the moon’s delight. [Verse 2] With pointy ears and a toothy grin, He starts to sway as the night begins, His tunes so catchy, folks gather 'round, Even the owls, they hoot the sound. [Chorus] Hey, goblin, play that swingin' song, We’ll dance and laugh all night long, Your jazzy rhythm keeps us on our toes, From dusk 'til dawn, everyone knows. [Verse 3] Mossy logs and toadstools tall, His stage for one, he entertains all, A goblin band with a soulful beat, Their music wild, yet oh-so-sweet. [Bridge] Through the night, the forest glows, With every note, the magic grows, Leaves and branches join the fray, In a goblin jazz café. [Chorus] Hey, goblin, play that swingin' song, We’ll dance and laugh all night long, Your jazzy rhythm keeps us on our toes, From dusk 'til dawn, everyone knows.
