1.Better People
Lyricist:Xavier Rudd
People saving whales
And giving your thanks to our seas
My respect to the ones in the forest
Standing up for our old trees
Them giving food to the hungry
Giving hope to the needy
Giving life to a baby, giving care for free
'Cause there is freedom around us
We have everything we need and I will care for you
'Cause you care for me
And we all have opinions, some of them get through
But there's better people with more good to do, good to do
What I have could be a message
Or just some words from my heart
My respect to the ones making changes
For all the lives they'll give their all
Like giving food to the hungry
Giving hope to the needy
Giving life to a baby, giving care for free
'Cause there is freedom around us
We have everything we need and I will care for you
'Cause you cared for me
And we all have opinions, some of them get through
But there's better people with more good to do, good to do
When our world keeps spinning round and round it goes
Mother Nature keeps spreading its disease
And our children keep growing up with
What they know through what we teach and what they see
And so only a question of the time we have
And the lives that our children need
As they can only keep growing up with
What they know through what we teach and what they see
Like giving food to the hungry
Giving hope to the needy
Giving life to a baby, giving care for free
'Cause there is freedom around us
We have everything we need and I will care for you
'Cause you care for me
We all have opinions, some of them get through
But there's better people with more good to do, good to do
Oh good to do
2.Twist
Lyricist:Xavier Rudd
Everybody gonna paid a lot
To get any kind of weather, 'cause everybody's okay
Everybody gonna kick back together
Speak about each other, 'cause everybody's okay
Some people gonna twist up together
Help to feel you better, 'cause everybody's okay
From looking far and wide, I can see you're okay
When there's people all around, just such a fuss and shade
And a little bit to food just to see the next day
'Cause the fields are dried up and the mummy never came
Can you sing to your Creator, give tobacco to a tree
Or some flowers to your mother, 'cause she gave you what you
need?
Everybody, can you lay back together
Star gaze together, 'cause everybody's okay?
You know your children don't help you feel better
If your close to each other, 'cause everybody's okay
From looking far and wide, I can see you're okay
When there's people all around, just such a fuss and shade
And a little bit of food just to see the next day
'Cause the fields are dried up and the mummy never came
Can you sing to your Creator, give tobacco to tree
Or some flowers to your mother, 'cause she gave you what you
need?
Everybody can you sway to the music
Let the spirit choose you 'cause everybody's feeling okay?
So everybody can you sway to the music
Let the spirit choose you 'cause everybody's feeling okay?
Everybody can you sway to the music
Let the spirit choose you 'cause everybody's feeling okay?
So everybody can you sway to the music
Let the spirit choose you 'cause everybody's feeling okay?

Let the spirit choose you 'cause everybody's feeling okay?

4.Choices
Lyricist:Xavier Rudd
Let me down to rest of the world
I'm feeling cold, cold to the bones
Let me down so I can fly, fly, fly
Dragonfly doesn't matter
With flowers in the sunshine
Warming me up to the bones, lifting me up
So I can fly
She's says it's nothing to be said, nothing to be gained
From the winds that blow today
Now you have is time, walking down the slide and twisted
Preservatives of life
You have what you have what you have is for you
And the future of your child
Look there's a full moon, I'm looking at you
Choices, you've been wrong and you've been cold
Choices, you've been wrong, you've been cold
Choices, you've been wrong and you've been cold
Choices, choices

Preservatives of life

6.White Moth
Lyricist:Xavier Rudd
Tiny bones and skin, sand on your feet
These healthy children are fruits of the tree
Turquoise flotation on the Indian Sea
We can float together, you and me now
And we love you it's a beautiful day
Thank you for the journey to this new day where we've been
Gifted this island we've been gifted this day
And we're all here together on this beautiful day
Feel a daddy is taking his steps 1, 2, 3
While the other one keeps on amazing us by what he can see
To you're through broken shells a white moth comes
She gives herself to him 'cause he keeps you strong
And we love you it's a beautiful day
Thank you for the journey to this new day where we've been

7.Footprint
Lyricist:Xavier Rudd
Respect her, she's the one
Our seasons change with each sign
Truth lies in her bones
Our choices now, it faked everyone
I, I, I, I
Like a river cuts through the mountains
To the sun
The truth cannot be changed
It has come
There are leaders who lead
But our leaders prefer to deceive
As our oceans they rise, they rise
Still now they choose to deny
I, I, I, I
Like a river cuts through the mountains
To the sun
The truth cannot be changed
It has come, yeah
So respect her, she's the one
8.Land Rights
Lyricist:Xavier Rudd
'Cause it was signal, 'cause it was found
'Cause these were feelings from so long ago
Listen to the spirits, came up strong
All put together with same layer song
This is how they did it, spears by their side
Stood on the mountain for their land rights
All the people noticed, movement took fly
They said
This is our home, just honor our lives
Ooh, this is our home, just honor our lives
Country it was speaking, land of God
Families were broken, spirits were crushed
The language that was silenced, set free to be passed
The cup that was empty, slowly filled up
So we can prove together, show our children it is time
You see this is our home, just honor our lives
Ooh, this is our home, just honor our lives
Ooh, this is our home, just honor our lives
9.Anni Kookoo
Lyricist:Xavier Rudd
The places that we live and the living that we did
The places we were put and the things we were given
He sings what they talk
But they took away are pride but they didn't take our lives
They took away the things that made us feel alive
Said, 'Ooh ooh, what have we become?
What have we become?'
Said, 'Ooh ooh, how did this become?
How did this become? How did this become?'
In old woman we flex from the East to the West
She thinks of her grandmother and her grandfather
And strings that they had
Now she looks to the arm, saw them sniffing on their drugs
The drink in there has stolen so many souls
And flooded her sacred blood
She says, 'Ooh ooh, what have we become?
What have we become?'
She says, 'Ooh ooh, how did this become?
How did this become?'
She says, 'Ooh ooh, the bottle took away my son
It took away my son'
She says, 'Ooh ooh, where are we gonna run?
What have we become?'
She says, 'Ooh ooh, what have we become?
What have we become?'
She says, 'Ooh ooh, how did this become?
How did this become?'
She says, 'Ooh ooh, see the bottle took away my son
It took away my son'
She says, 'Ooh ooh, where are we gonna run?
What have we become?'
10.Message Stick
11.Set It Up
Lyricist:Xavier Rudd
Turn around to the jungle
Turn around outside
It's out there in the jungle
There is truth among lies
And I've been to cold dark places
And I've had a broken shoulder
The code of the cold dark places
Have some bright one feel so warm
And if you want her up be sure to help you down
And if you burn it up you take the ashes to the ground
And if you grow it keep the truth deep, deep down
And if you set it up be sure to set it down
See you laugh with those voices
See you laugh with their heads
And thoughts that I felt to be pulling
It send new shades of gray
And I've been to cold dark places
And I've had leave old mind
The code of the cold dark places
Seem to help the sun to shine
And if you want her up be sure to help you down
And if you burn it up you take the ashes to the ground
And if you grow it up keep the truth deep, deep down
And if you set it up be sure to set it down
Searching, searching for close
Closest to the people that I love the most
Start to feel you and everything you do
As everything you do comes back to you
Spirits, of evil and grace intrusion of the mind
And intrusion of the space
And I'm sorry 'cause everything I do
And everything you do comes back to you
I feel you and everything I do
As everything you do comes back to you
I feel you and everything I do
'Cause everything I do comes back to you
12.Whispers
Lyricist:Xavier Rudd
I've seen you somewhere before your eyes
Your eyes draw me back to the songs, it's been many moons
My mind is too young and I can't place it
The spirit within me breathes now
These old people sit here with me
My feet turned up, inside I receive it
And I feel it in every breath in it
It circles inside my head and I
I fear it with each new day
And every way these whispers reach
These whispers reach
Now they're secrets before
These whispers they reach
These are friends of country and time
And this knowledge so long denied
But I thank you, oh oh and I thank you
The day will be recognized
But our children still we deny
This is school culture simply too young to feel it
As I feeling with every breath in it
It circles inside my head and I
I fear with each new day
And every way these whispers reach
These whispers reach
Now they're secrets before
These whispers they reach
Now these whispers they reach
Now whispers they reach
Now they're secrets before
These whispers they reach
They're whispers they reach
The whispers they reach
Now they're secrets before
These whispers they reach
Whispers
Whispers
Whispers
13.Whirlpool
Lyricist:Xavier Rudd
Lately I saved myself
Lately I saved myself
Lately I saved myself
See I, I was wrong but I saved myself
And you held out your hand and it was all that I had
And these places I've been that you couldn't share with me
But your tears had their place on those cold lonely days
And I was wrong but I need you now
Lately I saved myself
Lately I saved myself
Lately I saved myself
'Cause I, I was wrong but I saved myself
You held out your hand when it was all that I had
Through those rapid winds of change you were solid at the base
But your tears had their place on those cold lonely days
And I was wrong but I need you now
So so sorry, I'm so sorry
So so sorry, I'm so sorry
So so sorry, I'm so sorry
So so sorry 'cause I was wrong
14.Come Back
Lyricist:Xavier Rudd
And my answers, often left to feelin'
Like you're hangin' out to dry
And my reasons have left you wondering why
Life has this question looming over me
Since the day you took fly
And if you come back there will be good times
I see your face when I'm staring out the window
Beaming down in the moonlight
Winter is colder, life sought you by my side
All I have is this photo whom you're
Smiling to remind me of my words
In my rights if you come back there would be good times
And my answers, often left to feelin'
Like you're hangin' out to dry
And my reasons have left you wondering why
Life had this question looming over me
Since the day we took fly
And if you come back there would be good times
And I see your face when I'm staring out the window
Beaming down in the moonlight
Winter is colder, I sought you by my side
Now all I've is this photo whom you're
Smiling to remind me of my words
In my rights if you come back there would be good times
