Track 3 — Songline & Starlight (Blended worship + land‑connection) Verse 1 Down the Mary River, past the old slipway stone, Starlight spills on country where the ancient paths are known; There are songlines stretching far before the first white sail, Stories written in the dirt, in the wind and in the gale. I sense the unseen presence all around my daily way — Angels stand beside us, shadows walk the grey. The breeze moves soft through Queens Park where the old trees stand, Carrying whispers from the land. Verse 2 When the sun dips low and the twilight paints the sky, I feel the veil grow thin between the earth and high; Not just rock and water, not just dust and sand, But living memory breathed into the land. Tides shift slow beneath the bay, the river winds its course, Every hidden story follows its own source. Pre‑Chorus 1 Light and dark both move beneath the same wide sky, Grace still reaches out where the hidden spirits lie; What the land has known through the centuries long, Still echoes in the wind’s own song. Chorus Songline and starlight, land‑light and heaven’s glow, All the old, old stories where the river winds and flows; I belong to this country, I belong to the light, Walking out the tapestry through the day and through the night. Every path, every trace, every star above — Bound together in a love. Pre‑Chorus 2 Not just lines upon a map, not just dust and stone — Living breath within the land that makes this place its home; Watchers’ shadows, angel fire, dreaming’s quiet call — All part of the great design that holds us one and all. Bridge From the far‑off southern capes to the inland gum‑tree plains, Every step upon the earth where the ancient song remains; The sky holds starlight, the ground holds memory, The river carries all the tales to the waiting sea. We walk as guests upon this wide brown land we love, Beneath the watching eyes of heaven up above. Outro Songline and starlight… river and glow… Walking the tapestry… wherever we go…
