Raining On The Rock


Pastel red to burgundy and spinifex to gold,
We've just come out of the Mulga where the plains forever roll
And Albert Namatjira has painted all the scenes,
And a shower has changed the lustre of our land
And it's raining on the Rock,
In a beautiful country,
And I'm proud to travel this big land,
As an Aborigine
And it's raining on the Rock
What an almighty sight to see,
And I'm wishing and I'm dreaming that you were here with me
Everlasting daisies and a beautiful desert rose
Where does their beauty come from heaven knows
I could ask the wedge-tail but he's away too high,
I wonder if he understands it's wonderful to fly

It cannot be described with a picture,
The mesmerising colours of the Olgas
Or the grandeur of the Rock
Uluru has power!

And it's raining on the Rock,
In a beautiful country,
And I'm proud to travel this big land,
As an Aborigine
And it's raining on the Rock
What an almighty sight to see,
And I'm wishing and I'm dreaming that you were here with me
