lyrics

i’m in the car heading south on the federal highway i’m passing lake george where they say that you shouldn’t go sailing i look over, across the water, and there’s hardly a tree to be found and i’m stuck between angry and proud at this work of an ancestor’s hand. we played a game called who’s first to see black mountain tower and i got confused by the safety lights on mount majura and she’s friendly, she’s like family and the mountains that lay down behind and the planning’s as good as you’ll find, its the work of an ancestor’s hand. when our good great grand children have just the things that remain of us... i’ve got this lingering question to do with my ancestors if a wound doesn’t heal, does it fester? feels like murder to remember but if it’s black then i must wear the band cos there’s something i owe to this land for the work of an ancestor’s hand.
