9. SOMEWHERE DEEP FEAT. YIRRMAL

CHORUS

The ocean is rising

Somewhere deep she’s heating up

VERSE 1

Wanna change the way we live in our own way

Napurr dhu ga latjukumnha nhina ŋanydja way

We should fix the way we’re living ay

Sick and tired of the pain every day people are hurt like you and me

Gurruṯumirr

With our families

We need to come together

Together as one the way war could be won

In a world with no guns if we

Keep it up we’ll end up having none

With my head up high and

Nhäma ga sun

Wondering ga what was so fun

Looking at the sun

Wondering what was so fun

Living in the struggle got my knees going numb

I fell to the ground she picked me up it was my mum

She looked me in my eye said I love you my son

Get up on your feet and go get everything done

Now the world’s getting stung

Yolŋu matha from my tongue

Yolŋu language from my tongue

Crack of the lightning our future is frightening

CHORUS

The ocean is rising

Somewhere deep she’s heating up

Aye yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

VERSE 2

Thinking ŋarra li napurruŋ djamarrkuḻiny’

Walal dhu marr ga ŋaḻapaḻthirr latju wäŋaŋur

Yaka ŋarra ga djälthirr ŋayi dhu climate change dhu buma napurruŋ wäŋa

Bili galkithirrnha marrtji waluny

Ŋatha marrtji yätjkurrthirrnha

Gapu marrtji yätjkurrthirrnha

Wäŋa marrtji yätjkurrthirrnha

I’m always thinking of our kids

So they can grow up in a beautiful world

I don’t want climate change to wreck our land

Coz the time is coming when

Food is getting spoiled

Water is getting spoiled

Earth is getting spoiled

We could build a future where

We will not pollute the air

Slowly heal like every year

Mother nature’s skin is clear

But they want minerals

Thoughts of future minimal

Stealing nature’s medicine

Fingerprints of criminals

Making more than needed

Money what they seeking

How can they see clearly when it’s money that they’re seeing

Whispers getting louder I can hear it in the wind

Warning us about the real dangers that we in

And we should listen and make decisions legit

CHORUS

The ocean is rising

Somewhere deep she’s heating up

Aye yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

BRIDGE

Our land is cracking

From the drilling and fracking

And mother earth is crying

She’s crying from the drilling

Please listen to the warning

Can you hear the thunder

And see the lightning

Aye yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Somewhere deep she’s heating up
