Lyrics

[Verse 1]
When will you learn that the more you take
Means the less that you have at the end of the day
Stillness of the mind is so hard to embrace
Freedom of the heart is what we crave
[Verse 2]
And we sit by the river with a cup of tea
Watch the movement of the tide in the gentle breeze
Pelican driftin' slowly, lookin' for a feed
Like Mr. Percival to storm boy, you to me
[Verse 3]
Kookaburra calls just like he knows
And I'll call right back, "Yes, I'm home"
He's been with me, he's watched me grow
Through those rainy days and those rocky roads
[Verse 4]
And now everybody smiles in the settin' sun
And sighs with contentment when the day is done
Hand in hand with the one you love
Feelin' blessed by the magic of the moon above
And we sing
[Verse 5]
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
We're just livin' in this beautiful world
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
We're just livin' in this beautiful world
[Verse 6]
It's time for fire, smoke and leaves
The only mosquito repellant we need
Pay respect to the north, the south, the west and the east
Pay respect to spirit of this whole country
[Verse 7]
Freedom in the hearts of young and brave
Who know little of the journey of the diggers who gave
Their lives to the service and the government games
So that we could dance together on this beautiful day
[Verse 8]
And now everybody smiles in the settin' sun
And sighs with contentment when the day is done
Hand in hand with the one you love
Feelin' blessed by the magic of the moon above
And we sing
[Verse 9]
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
We're just livin' in this beautiful world
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
We're just livin' in this beautiful world
[Verse 10]
Oh
Oh
Ha
[Verse 11]
When the winter seeps into my bones
And I hear the call from the north
I will go, yeah, I will go
[Verse 12]
And everybody smiles in the settin' sun
And sighs with contentment when the day is done
Hand in hand with the one you love
Feelin' blessed by the magic of the moon above
And we sing
[Verse 13]
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
We're just livin' in this beautiful world
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
We're just livin' in this beautiful world
[Verse 14]
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
We're just livin' in this beautiful world
Sha-la-la-la-la-la-la-la
We're just livin' in this beautiful world
