How can I go back and tell my story
After all the games I've won
How can I begin,  there's so much, so much more
than stars and words can tell

How can I wait till the morning
Who can say if tonight is the only day
I wonder what would it take
To change these lose away

Just take me back to East dry river
Just take me back where I belong
Just take me back to the ringbang people
Just take me back to sing my song

I wanna hear the birdie sing
I wanna hear the whistles blow
I wanna hear the stealband play
I wanna hear the lion roar

How can I go back and tell my brethren
That something's never changed (never changed)
I know the tears and the pain
They'll feel my sorrow
The tearful  things we share (we share)

How can I love this people just the same
Like the once that passed me true
I wonder what will it take to change this blues away

Just take me back to East dry river
Just take me back where I belong
Just take me back to the ringbang people
Just take me back to sing my song

I wanna hear the birdie sing
I wanna hear the whistles blow
I wanna hear the stealband play
I wanna hear the lion roar

I just got to go back, the children know me
Right now I feel so sad (so sad)
Enough is enough, the day is so cloudy
And everything's so drapg (so drag)

How can I feel their love so far away
Till it break my heart in two
I think I know what it takes to change this blues away

Just take me back to East dry river
Just take me back where I belong
Just take me back to the ringbang people
Just take me back to sing my song

I wanna hear, I wanna hear the birdie sing
I wanna hear (hear) the whistles blow
I wanna hear (hear) the stealband play
I wanna hear (hear) the lion roar

I wanna hear it ( hear the birdie sing)
