Uh, the story gets told as the wind turns cold, I begin to shudder
Sitting at my desk, heart sink into my chest, I can feel it flutter
I think I hear my ancestors
We walk the same path as our elders, the spirit never left us
I went looking for some answers, I found lessons
By the riverbed is my reflection
Brad Steadman, guide me to a direction
Walkin' this river to comprehend the connection, ayy
The road back, what a blessing
It's gonna take me a while to convey this message
I can feel your presence, no question
That warrior spirit not to be messed with, ayy
I know you can hear me now
I know you can see me now
I know you can feel me now (hold up)
I know that you're with me now
I know you can hear me now
Show us the way, show us the way, show us the way (show us the way)
I know you can see me now
Show us the way, show us the way (show us the way), show us the way (show us the way)
I know you can feel me now
Show us the way, show us the way (show us the way), show us the way (show us the way), ayy
I know that you're with me now
Show us the way
Uh, it's been a couple of times, I got your sign
That's why I'm able to shine, stay on my grind, ayy
Life, ayy, keepin' confined, Monday to Friday
Criticised, payin' no mind to what they might say
Visitors, I hear your call, come from the fireplace
9 a.m. in the morn', wake on a bright day
I take pride in these high-spirited words
Time tick on the clock, mind free as a bird
And it's like that, karma comin' right back, tell me where your mic's at
Tell me 'bout your cotton farm, tell me 'bout your buyback
Politickin' puttin' up a fight, then we fight back
If you love the country, you would care about our fish traps
Celebrate our people, celebrate resilience
Unlearn your evils, mother from the Philippines
Come to build family, Gadigal country, call it Ground Zero
Every single town is a crime scene, bloody and gory
Policy can take us all apart in its glory
Eighty thousand years, that's a hell of a story
It's ours to tell, no one tellin' it for me
Nothin' I'm saying on these tracks are new
We all gotta do what we each have to do
Learn your past, at least that's the truth
'Cause all of these rivers, they lead back to you
Show us the way
Show us the way (show us the way)
Show us the way (show us the way)
Show us the way
