Emerald City

 

Go to the Emerald City

She will make a way for you

See her beaches and her sand so yellow

Beaches footsteps from skyscrapers

 

I have white sand beaches of my own

My rainforests touch the sky

Red dirt earth

Red dirt earth

 

Glittering buildings and beaches in the distance

There is a looking glass beneath us

The mountain is medicine

Not to be inhabited

 

Worship the beauty of the trees

They have witnessed

Shooting stars and comets fall

 

Pretty city

Emerald City

Dressed in diamonds

Your blinding lights of beauty

The sun dancing brightly

On the glittering foreshore

Everything looks better here

In Sydney

 

 

Smoke and mirrors on the misty harbour

The curtain of darkness rises on the dancing lights of dawn

 

Oh creatives

Emerald City

Pretty city

You don’t welcome everyone to you

Pretty city

Emeralds and diamonds

Operas and lights

In the sky

 

I’ll get my coat and cross the bridge

The other side is not far away

Riverfront and rolling hills

Away from the men and women who toil

On the harbour

 

Smoke and mirrors on the misty harbour

The curtain of darkness raises

On the dancing lights of dawn

 

Oh creatives

Emerald City

Pretty City

You don’t welcome

Everyone to you

Pretty City

Emeralds and diamonds

Operas

And lights in the sky
