East Lyrics

I see the summer in a little green leaf now

One million trees now their swords unsheathed now

Little children been inside for weeks now

Running out water fighting in the streets now

I always lived for that summertime day

How to be sure good weather coming your way

How to be sure you leave behind clouds of grey

We head east, up to Byron Bay



Up to Byron Bay....



Take a bus if you must or just drive you'll

Head straight in to the sea on arrival

Deserted beaches for me soul survival

In the East I find me gods much greater than the bible

And now I sit by this creek while I rest

I think lucky me because this East is still the West

I got food

I got water

I got peace

I am blessed

I got no bombs fallin on me chest

Fallin on me chest



I'm reminded as I sit by this creek now

Camel in the desert bone dry for a week now

The scene of learning on Earth this ancient land now

Ancient libraries buried in the sand now



Now everybody jump up, jump up and down now

The leaders of this country they are wearing the crowns

Represent the people of the country and the towns

So people shout out for compassion or this ship is going down



And in the East I see fun I see sun

But in another East I hear bombs I hear guns

Some good people they run run run

And we put them in a cage, let them burn in the sun

We just let them burn in the sun

What's to be done?

We just let them burn in the sun



We so lucky why not share it around now?

We so lucky why not share it around now?

We so lucky why not share it around now?

We so lucky why not share it around now?
