Dots on the Shell
Like the lines on your face,
The answer is here.
And the light's in your eyes
Don't hide it away.
Like the dots on the shell,
They shine.

Look at the sun
Falling from the sky
And the sunset
Takes my mind
Back to my homeland
Far away
It’s a story
Planted in my mind
It’s so clear
I remember
Oh my, oh my,
Sunset dreaming
Wo djäpana
Wo warwu
Wo rramani
Wo galanggarri
Hey, you people
Out there
How come
You ain’t fair
To the people
Of the land
Try my, try my,
Sunset dreaming
