Tune: Any dream will do
Before the dawn,Opened the tent door,To see the splendour,That I'd seen before.I've come so far,To places distant,And in an instant,Know I am home.
I took my pack,With gear for camping,On mountains tramping,See wondrous views.And in the east,The dawn was breaking.As I was waking.Any trip will do.
I walk the tracks, into the bush.No more noise, far from the push.The serried ranges vision peaceful,I am truly home.
I will return,Will stay forever.It's that or never,And the trips are too.The bush and I,We are as one now.Will have some fun now.Any trip will do.
(Spoken)There are no strangers here.Just friends we have not met.The years have been kind.So many peaks, sunlight and storm.Summer and winter.Shared experiences and values.Equalised before nature's majesty.Humbled and given perspective about what is really important.
I walk the tracks, into the bush.No more noise, far from the push.The serried ranges vision peaceful,I am truly home.
Would I return,To the beginning,As light is dimming,And the trips are too.
The bush and I,We go together,And so forever,Any trip will do.
