I was born on this land

I was born on this land
I will forever love this land
I feel at peace with this land
this land is my safe place
when I hear the budjan (birds) sing
when I feel bunyal (sun) burning on my skin
when I smell ganbii (fire)
that’s when I know I am home
watching my nungbaan (aunts) dance
reminds me of how deadly I am
this ngurra (Country) is my home
yarraba (walking) along these sweet smelling darrambang (gum trees)
feeling at home
watching the burru (kangaroo) discover more ngurra (Country)
yarraba (walking) through this deadly trail
once where my burringilling (ancestors) roamed
feeling at home
this ngurra (Country) is my home
this land is my home
I belong here
