You can Galmost D/F#touch the Gocean
Shimmering Cin the distant Ghaze,
As you Gstand there G/F#on the Emmountain
On this Cloveliest day of Ddays.
Round Ghalf the D/F#world you've Gdrifted
Left Cno wild oats unsown,
But Gnow your G/F#view has Emshifted
And you Cthink you've Djust come Ghome.
REPEAT INTRO
And you're drowning in the sunshine
As it pours down from the sky,
And there's something stirring in your heart
Bright colours fill your eyes.
As from here to the far horizon
Your beauty does unfold,
And oh, you look so lovely
Dressed in green and gold.

To the homeless and the hungry
May we always open doors,
May the restless and the weary
Find safe harbour on our shores.
May she always be our dreamtime place
Our spirit's glad release,
May she always be our shelter
May we always live in peace.
REPEAT INTRO
May we always live in peace.
