Spoken unison text:<br />
The ancient story written in the <strong>stars</strong><br />
Of man's first death beneath the tall white gum<br />
Of Yowie, guardian of death<br />
With fiery eyes,<br />
Who lifts him up and tree and all<br />
Begins the funeral journey to the <strong>stars</strong>.<br />
And all the while, the screeching cockatoos<br />
Now lost without their home<br />
Chase after, like the pointers they become.<br />
14<br />
Fiery <strong>burning</strong> <strong>stars</strong> of Yaraandoo -<br />
Southern Cross that lights our southern sky<br />
And blazes in our southern hearts.<br />
