raining on the rock

pastel red to burgundy and spinifex to gold

we've just come out of the mulga where the plains forever roll

and albert namatjira has painted all the scenes

and a shower has changed the lustre of his land

and it's raining on the rock

in a beautiful country

and i'm proud to travel this big land

like an aborigine

and it's raining on the rock

what an almighty sight to see

and i'm wishing on a postcard

that you were here with me

everlasting daisies and the beautiful desert rose

where does their beauty come from

heaven knows

i could ask the wedgetail

but he's away too high

i wonder if he understands

it's wonderful to fly

and it's raining on the rock

in a beautiful country

and i'm proud to travel this big land

like an aborigine

and it's raining on the rock

what an almighty sight to see

and i'm wishing on a postcard

that you were here with me

it cannot be described with a picture

the mesmerising colours of the olgas

or the grandeur of the rock

uluru has power

and it's raining on the rock

in a beautiful country

and i'm proud to travel this big land

like an aborigine

and it's raining on the rock

what an almighty sight to see

and i'm wishing on a postcard

that you were here with me
