I'm standing here, where rivers meet.
The water flows around me.
And here at this place, where rivers meet,
The waters flow on to the sea.
From the mountain snows and the falling rain,
On and on it flows through valleys and plains.
Bringing life to all, ever changing yet still the same.
Here at this place where rivers meet,
My people have lived for thousands of years.
We've hunted and gathered at Rivers Meet.
Through fire and flood, joy and tears.
But then changes came,
…
...
Now we try to live with peace for all, today.
G'day Matt. This is the title song (more lyrics to follow)sung by the Aboriginal Elder at the start of the performance. The tune will also reoccur throughout the show.
ReplyDeleteThe main themes for the song and music is when a character in the story and/or audience is stepping back to take in the "big picture" of what is happening.
