Birch 'Shipped Away' Elm 'Australia'
Lyrics:
Shipped Away
Near the equator by the sea -
stood the majestic kingdom of Benin
A peaceful community of African beauty
Where multitudes of children - laughed and played,
the blazing hot sun beating down on their skin
was when the Europeans came busting in
all of the parents were holding their kin
innocent hearts -
sank as they were shipped away
Terrified faces, showing signs of fear
Will the children return here?
Australia
Music drifting opera delights
Shark Bay glistens day and night
Ayers Rock stands proud and tall
A natural landmark for one and all
Australia! A mysterious land
Hidden deep within the golden sand
A distant dream
A million miles away
A million miles away
Kangaroos jumping round and round
Slithering Snakes with their rattling sound
Dingos with their heads in the sand
Funnel web spiders crawling to my hand
Unbearable heat and humid air
New smells make my nostrils flair
Sweet sweet sounds - birds are singing
Brand new flavours - taste buds ringing
