I grew tall in this lucky land
And I thank God for that, but there´s needles in the sand
Ozone in eucalypt and on the steppes tonight
There´s pushing and a shoving on the throne tonight

It´s a rhythm of the sea
Lost islands of hope
It´s a rhythm of the sea
Who will discover you
But I won´t be down at heel
‘Cos my senses lead me here
Dream a South Pacific
Dream of now or never land
It´s now or never land
Rises in rivers, in power of the sun
Rises in sea level, look out Mammon´s bastard son
Infidels are praying at the stock exchange
Chrome camels are crashing on the smooth terrain
It´s the rhythm of the sea
Lost islands of hope
It´s the rhythm of the sea
Someone to carry you
But I won´t be down at heel

‘Cos my sense lead me here
Dream a South Pacific
Dream of now or never land
Suitcase full of good ideas
History that´s filled with tears
Kill nostalgia, xenophobic fears
It´s now or never land
