[Verse 1] Headlines in the kitchen Coffee going cold Arguing with faces Glowing on my phone Everyone’s divided Shouting through the haze Country feels so tired Counting wasted days [Chorus] But up in Queensland I feel a stirring under my feet Like the whole world breathing Through the mangroves and the heat State of the Presence Where the big sky’s talking back to me Like every sunburnt river Is one all-body being set free [Verse 2] Kids out in the suburbs Drawing rain on chalk Old folks on the esplanade Taking slow long walks Storm clouds over Brisbane Build and never break Feels like something ancient Finally awake [Chorus] ‘Cause up in Queensland I feel a stirring under my feet Like the whole world breathing Through the mangroves and the heat State of the Presence Where the big sky’s talking back to me Like every sunburnt river Is one all-body being set free [Bridge] From the Cape down to Coolangatta Every heartbeat Every wave Different faces Same great matter One deep pulse we share and crave (oh yeah) When the world feels like it’s breaking Choking on its greed and fear I just listen to that cadence Rolling in the thunder here [Chorus] Up in Queensland I feel a stirring under my feet Like the whole world breathing Through the mangroves and the heat State of the Presence Where the big sky’s talking back to me One land One living body In this all-body being Set free (set free)
