[00:04.23]There's a wilderness, it's a no-man's land
[00:09.35]Between Alice Springs and the ocean
[00:14.40]Seventeen hundred miles of burning sand
[00:23.22]And the silken thread keeps a hold on you
[00:28.62]And the emptiness, like a potion
[00:33.85]Tends to fray your reason strand by strand
[00:42.22]And there's no more need for the mask you wear
[00:47.26]When the last goodbyes have been said
[00:52.30]So kiss the cheeks of your dearest friends
[00:57.29]And turn to the desert ahead
[01:01.35]Now you're on your own like a sailing ship
[01:06.48]You're the captain, the crew and the sailors
[01:12.09]Turn around and this is what you'll see
[01:20.25]This is me, facing me
[01:25.74]All alone cause I choose to be
[01:30.24]With the wind and the sun on me
[01:34.84]Only me
[01:39.94]Now you dream so much about being lost
[01:45.28]Your ghost, by a coolibah sleeping
[01:50.54]Haunts you and whispers in your ear
[01:59.11]"Give up, give up this lonely road
[02:03.67]No one knows the promise you're keeping
[02:09.22]You can't touch the emptiness out here"
[02:17.73]But the grace that mends this broken wing
[02:22.84]The blue sky to regain
[02:27.96]Will lift those feet and raise those eyes
[02:32.57]To face the desert again
[02:36.69]As the dawn reveals the journey's end
[02:42.18]In truth, it's only beginning
[02:47.02]And it's as big as your eyes wish to see
[02:55.92]This is me, facing me
[03:01.08]All alone cause I choose to be
[03:05.48]With the wind and the sun on me
[03:10.10]Only me
[03:15.40]🎵
[03:52.90]This is me, facing me
[03:58.56]All alone cause I choose to be
[04:03.13]With the wind and the sun on me
