Storm Boy - Xavier Rudd

When will you learn that the more that you take means the less that you have at

the end of the day

Stillness of the mind is so hard to embrace

Freedom of the heart is what we crave

And we sit by the river with a cup of tea

Watch the movement of the tide in the gentle breeze

Pelican drifting slowly looking for a feed

Like Mr Percival the storm boy, you to me

Kookaburra calls just like he knows

And I call right back «Yes I’m home»

He’s been with me

He’s watched me grow

Through those rainy days and those rocky roads

And now everybody smiles in the setting sun

And sighs with contentment when the day is done

Hand in hand

With the one you love

Feeling blessed by the magic of the moon above

And we sing

Sha la la la la

We’re just living in this beautiful world

Sha la la la la

We’re just living in this beautiful world

It’s time for fire

Smoke and leaves

The only mosquito repellent we need

Pay respect to the North the South the West and the East

Pay respect to the spirit of this whole country

Freedom in the hearts of the young and brave

Who know little of the journey of the diggers who gave

Their lives to the service and the government gains

So that we could dance together on this beautiful day

And now everybody smiles in the setting sun

And sighs with contentment when the day is done

Hand in hand

With the one you love

Feeling blessed by the magic of the moon above

And we sing

Sha la la la la

We’re just living in this beautiful world

Sha la la la la

We’re just living in this beautiful world

Ohh

Ohh

Aye

Now the winter seeps into my bones

And I hear the call from the North

Yeah I will go

Yeah I will go

And now everybody smiles in the setting sun

And sighs with contentment when the day is done

Hand in hand

With the one you love

Feeling blessed by the magic of the moon above

And we sing

Sha la la la la

We’re just living in this beautiful world

Sha la la la la

We’re just living in this beautiful world
