the perthling - Blessed as I am Lyrics

Blessed as I am to be living in the bosom of beauty
Every day it is my sacred duty
To celebrate this river and the loveliness all around
It's a place of my heart, it's a holy ground
It's a holy ground, it's a holy ground

When I take those walks by the waterside
It seems to call to the river inside, it says
Life may be tough but keep on going
You may feel stuck but keep on flowing

Every time I walk by the river Derbarl Yirrigan
It feels I'm invited to stop and begin again
A chance to leave for a while what afflicts my mind
Not fear the future and leave the past behind
Leave the past behind, wake my heart still my mind

When I take those walks by the waterside
It seems to call to the river inside, it says
If it's tough keep going
When I'm stuck keep flowing
For the good and the bad is the endless ebb and flow of the tide

Yes, the ebb and the flow is the come and the go
Is the up and the down and the round and around
Great wheel it keeps turning and sun it keeps burning
Despite all the tests try to never stop yearning
You're here and you're now you may never return
And the day that you say you have nothing to learn
Says that there is a danger that life you will spurn
Money is easy but merit you earn

Blessed as I am to be living in the bosom of beauty
Every day it is my sacred duty
To celebrate this river and the loveliness all around
It's a place of my heart, it's a holy ground
It's a holy ground, it's a holy ground
