Spirit of the Territory

Dedicated to Gurrumul

Spirit of his people, through Gurrumul the ancestors speak.
They live, They breathe, They heal.

Spirit of the Northern Territory arises through his heart flame.
The sorrow of the land, the tribes, the ancestors is soothed.

Through his heart the pain is eased, it is released.
He is a wellspring, a fount through which the past is cleansed and the future is revealed. We welcome the ancestors.

We welcome the Spirit of Northern Territory to this land, these tribes. We welcome you.
The cry of his people is soothed, the ache of the land is eased.

Hearts eased, tears released. Hearts eased, tears released.
The echo of the land; the blood cleansed. Spirit soars.

Spirit of the Territory soaring free
From Australia’s heart, our blood runs free.

Uluru, Uluru, Heart of all songs
Uluru, Uluru, Song of our hearts.

From Arnhem land to the Great Divide
Our blood runs free.

Uluru, Uluru, Heart of all songs
Uluru, Uluru, Song of our hearts.

Across raging rivers. through desert skies our blood runs free.

Uluru, Uluru, Heart of all songs
Uluru, Uluru, Song of our hearts.

Ancestors released, our blood runs free.
Ancestors released, we joyful be.
