Swallows fly and swallow flies
While grasshoppers hide in grass hiders

Heavy rain! Oh, heavy rain!
Though you've exerted all your strength
None of us could be flushed into the ocean

Wollongong Lighthouse how you stand,
Above seaside, windblown and stony;
Like a rocket ship on the edge of land,
Poised for take-off with full ceremony.
Skyward, you point, watch and aspire,
Always ready, but never mote moving,
Do you wait for hydrogen engine fire;
Gravity annulling forces improving?
Wollongong Lighthouse how you stand,
Above seaside, windblown and stony;
Like a rocket ship on the edge of land,
Poised for take-off with full ceremony.
Oh, Wollongong Lighthouse forever stand:
Poised like a rocket ship on the edge of land.

On the main campus of the University of Wollongong
I saw a duck couple walking side by side
Around them were their kids, couples of little ducklings
How exciting with this scenery I felt
Which made me know that
Even these wild livings understood what love was like
but why do human beings here and there always feel confusing?
Love is not always as romantic as some people expected
Love by a simple companion is an apparent matter of fact
that exists everywhere with all lives
