The Billabong
As the sun rises over the Billabong
Life began to flow in the dawn of the morning
Crocodiles snaps at its morning food
Large fish swim for their lives
Mosquitoes are in the millions
Swarming all in your face
Camp fires are lit all over the place
People are preparing their morning breakfast
Getting ready for their high pace trip
Not a moment to waste tasting their food
To begin to move with a healthy pace
The Billabong gives up its water
to every living to crunch their thirst
The birds, the crocodile, the mosquitoes
The people must drank to fill their thirst
Not one moment wasted, they move at super pace
The Billabong curbs and run at a fast pace
Watering the land and sand
And everything it can
The drought is coming and thirst will begin
Not one but all will taste its call.
