Great Unknown Little River Band

For million of years, the virgin land lay waiting
And nobody new what treasures lay undisturbed
The white man came and settled in easy places
And the black man knew that soon the tide would turn

They took the land and wrote the story
All in the name of king and glory

They came in chains to find the answer
They built on every stone
But on the way they lost the dreamtime
Out in the great unknown
Out in the great unknown

A breed of men, some born in desperation
Had to see for themselves, the legends that they'd heard
To forge a path all the way to the great north ocean
For men have dreams that fly as high as birds

They led the way and hold the story
Still in the name of king and glory

They broke their chains and found an answer
They built with every stone
But on the way they lost the dreamtime
Out in the great unknown
Out in the great unknown
