| Standing at the limit of an endless ocean | |
| Stranded like a runaway lost at sea | |
| City on a rainy day down in the harbor | |
| Watching as the gray clouds shadow the bay | |
| Looking everywhere 'cause I had to find you | |
| This is not the way that I remember it here | |
| Anyone will tell you it's a prisoner island | |
| Hidden in the summer for a million years | |
| Great Southern Land | |
| Burned you black | |
| So you look into the land, it will tell you a story | |
| Story about a journey ended long ago | |
| Listen to the motion of the wind in the mountains | |
| Maybe you can hear them talking like I do | |
| They're gonna betray you, they're gonna forget you | |
| Are you gonna let them take you over that way? | |
| Great Southern Land | |
| Great Southern Land | |
| You walk alone | |
| Like a primitive man | |
| And they make it work | |
| With sticks and bones | |
| See their hungry eyes | |
| It's a hungry home | |
| I hear the sound | |
| Of the strangers' voices | |
| I see their hungry eyes | |
| Their hungry eyes | |
| Great Southern Land | |
| Great Southern Land | |
| They burned you black | |
| Black against the ground | |
| Standing at the limit of an endless ocean | |
| Stranded like a runaway lost at sea | |
| City on a rainy day down in the harbor | |
| Watching as the gray clouds shadow the bay | |
| Looking everywhere, I had to find you | |
| This is not the way that I remember it here | |
| Anyone will tell you it's a prisoner island | |
| Hidden in the summer for a million years | |
| Great Southern Land | |
| In the sleeping sun | |
| You walk alone | |
| With the ghost of time | |
| Well, they burned you black | |
| Black against the ground | |
| And they make it work | |
| With rocks and sand | |
| I hear the sound | |
| Of the strangers' voices | |
| I see their hungry eyes | |
| Their hungry eyes | |
| Great Southern Land | |
| Great Southern Land | |
| You walk alone | |
| Like a primitive man | |
| You walk alone | |
| With the ghost of time | |
| And they burned you black | |
| Yeah, they burned you black | |
| Great Southern Land | |
| Great Southern Land | |
| Great Southern Land | |
| Great Southern Land |
