Lyrics
[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)
