G D/F# G
You can almost touch the ocean
C G
Shimmering in the distant haze,
G G/F# Em
As you stand there on the mountain
C D
On this loveliest day of days.
G D/F# G
Round half the world you've drifted
C
Left no wild oats unsown,
G G/F# Em
But now your view has shifted
C D G
And you think you've just come home.
REPEAT INTRO
And you're drowning in the sunshine
As it pours down from the sky,
And there's something stirring in your heart
Bright colours fill your eyes.
As from here to the far horizon
Your beauty does unfold,
And oh, you look so lovely
Dressed in green and gold.

To the homeless and the hungry
May we always open doors,
May the restless and the weary
Find safe harbour on our shores.
May she always be our dreamtime place
Our spirit's glad release,
May she always be our shelter
May we always live in peace.
REPEAT INTRO
May we always live in peace.
