Gloria Sturgeon-Walsh - Under The Gumtree Lyrics

Sunshine gleams on the coast,
Dreams are wild, and I am lost.
By the river where we dance,
Stories told in every glance.

Under the gumtree, I hear the call,
Whispers of my ancestors, echo through it all.
Painting the sky with the spirit's grace,
In Queensland's heart, I've found my place.


Cousins gather, the fire's bright,
Laughter shines like stars at night.
Ngarrindjeri tales of the sea,
They come alive, and I feel free.


Under the gumtree, I hear the call,
Whispers of my ancestors, echo through it all.
Painting the sky with the spirit's grace,
In Queensland's heart, I've found my place.


Dodging waves at the Great Barrier,
Every splash tells a story, never scarier.
From the Dreamtime, I'm never apart,
This land is alive, it beats in my heart.

Street art blooms on the city walls,
Voices of the past in every call.
Didgeridoos play in the breeze,
In every note, my soul finds ease.


Under the gumtree, I hear the call,
Whispers of my ancestors, echo through it all.
Painting the sky with the spirit's grace,
In Queensland's heart, I've found my place.

So let's celebrate, let the colors blend,
In the spirit of the land, we'll find our mend.
From the bush to the shore, we'll rise and sing,
Under the gumtree, we are everything.
