about

Based on Aboriginal Spirituality and Dream Time.
Lyrics by poet and artsit Pandora Gill

lyrics

Lifelines

Leaves in very shade of green
Shape and texture I have seen
Growing out from every place
Flowing into every space
Eden evergreen, it’s the essence of us all

Open wide your heart
The notes spill out into the air
And for a moment linger there

All the birds are showing off
Kidding on it’s spring
Blue, ice blue that sky
Snow is in the wind
The geese are calling, winters in their wake

Fine lines of dreamtime, Echo through the dawn
Whisper in the sunset, Spun star song
Fine lines of dreamtime, Ancient yarns spin on
Whisper in the sunset, Spun star song
Lifelines carry on

So your busy day goes by
Till the last light starts to go
When you sing your lullaby
And glide out of the show
Best wishes for you, with your enchanting song
