[Verse 1] Sitting out Under the verandah Grey skies above Beside me, the one I love Breeze in the air Leaves fall To the ground Quiet of the day A burst of song Red tails Black cockatoos Fly by Transforming the day's sky [Chorus] Awakening Dreamtime Awakening my dreams Arrival bringing messages Carried on the breeze Resilience is brought to my soul A calm breeze washes over me Majestic glossy feathers Voices that carry me A messenger From the spirit world A dozen or so Rare to see Sacred truth and meaning Powerful red feather Drifts down from the sky [Chorus] Awakening Dreamtime Awakening my dreams Arrival bringing messages Carried on the breeze Resilience is brought to my soul A calm breeze washes over me [Verse 2] Life changes before me Clearing my emotional energy Grounding my soul’s feet The messenger has arrived The black cockatoo Signals a shift Connecting my spirit To the ones who came Before me Messengers of change As the raindrops Relieve the dry earth Whispering spirits of the sky Connection to our country Black cockatoos fade through the rain Leaving peace behind
