Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Pastel red to burgundy and spinifex to gold
We've just come out of the Mulga
Where the plains forever roll
And Albert Namatjira has painted all the scenes
And a shower has changed the luster of his land
[Verse 2]
And it's raining on the rock
In a beautiful country
And I'm proud to travel this big land
Like an Aborigine
[Verse 3]
And it's raining on the rock
What an almighty sight to see
And I'm wishing on a postcard
That you were here with me
[Verse 4]
Everlasting daises and a beautiful desert rose
Where does their beauty come from? Heaven knows
I could ask the wedge-tail, but he's away too high
I wonder if he understands
It's wonderful to fly
[Verse 5]
And it's raining on the rock
In a beautiful country
And I'm proud to travel this big land
Like an Aborigine
[Verse 6]
And it's raining on the rock
What an almighty sight to see
And I'm wishing on a postcard
That you were here with me
[Verse 7]
It cannot be described with a picture
The mesmerizing colors of the Olgas
Or the grandeur of the rock
Uluru has power
[Verse 8]
And it's raining on the rock
In a beautiful country
And I'm proud to travel this big land
Like an Aborigine
[Verse 9]
And it's raining on the rock
What an almighty sight to see
And I'm wishing on a postcard
That you were here with me
