World That I See Lyrics - Midnight Oil

In a country that we call home 

In a land that's skin and bone 

There's a place that's hardly known. 

Mountains appearing with the sun 

Rivers of light they westward run 

Night is draining from the firmament. 

Railway fettler broken down 

On a branch line somewhere south 

Off the map and off the world. 

There is no end to the world that I see 

There is no end to the world that I see. 

As we swing from star to star 

We're not going very far 

The land is hard and gives no quarter. 

The o'cannon garrison falls down 

You cannot hear the church bell sound 

The sun beats down and gives no sanctuary. 

As sure as I stand on this place 

The spirit comes 

Let lightning strike and leave no trace.
