The Acknowledgment Song Jemma King
We acknowledge the land on which we now stand
Has always been Wadandi country
We pay our respect to elders past
Those present and those of the future (repeat verse)
For thousands and thousands of years
First Nations peoples cared for our country
We pay our respect to the oldest continuous
Living culture in the world
We acknowledge the land on which we now stand
Has always been Wadandi country
We pay our respect to elders past
Those present and those of the future
We acknowledge the land on which we now stand
Will always be Wadandi country
Lovely Day
(Verse 1 and 3)
When I wake up in the morning, love
And the sunlight hurts my eyes
And something without warning, love
Bears heavy on my mind
(Pre chorus 1 and 3)
Then I look at you
And the world’s alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it’s gonna be
(Chorus after every verse – NB sing 4 times for the last chorus)
A lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
A lovely day (lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Lovely day, lovely day, lovely day, lovely day)
(Verse 2)
When the day that lies ahead of me
Seems impossible to face
When someone else instead of me
Always seems to know the way
(Pre chorus 2)
Then I look at you
And the world’s alright with me
Just one look at you
And I know it’s gonna be
