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
