lyrics

There’s things the road will show you, if you travel slow
My mind it starts to wander on the stories these things know

There’s coffee cups and crosses, a land that bears a scar
Black gum trees silent witness to the way things are

On Gulaga the water just flows out the mountainside
When I left my Mum said, ‘Seek and you will find’
But what if all I ever needed was what I left behind?

I went up the sacred mountain with my aching bones
My eyes fixed on the path to keep from tripping on the stones

Then Lionel and Mary in Bodalla town
Made me stop and think on Country with their painted Koori flag

On Gulaga the water just flows out the mountainside
When I left my mum said seek and you will find
But what if all I ever needed was what I left behind?

L-plates, garden gloves, a bottle of Dare
I pick them up as I go past, still looking for something else out there

Oh Gulaga your water just flows out your mountainside
And I hear my mothers voice say ‘Seek and you will find’
Can I carry all this with me back to what I left behind?
