Intro verse 1 When will you learn that the more that you take means the less that you have at the end of the day Stillness of the mind is so hard to embrace Freedom of the heart is what we crave And we sit by the river with a cup of tea Watch the movement of the tide in the gentle breeze Pelican drifting slowly looking for a feed Like Mr Percival the storm boy, you to me Kookaburra calls just like he knows And I call right back "Yes I'm home" He's been with me He's watched me grow Through those rainy days and those rocky roads And now everybody smiles in the setting sun And sighs with contentment when the day is done Hand in hand With the one you love Feeling blessed by the magic of the moon above And we sing Sha la la la la la la lah We're just living in this beautiful world Sha la la la la la la lah We're just living in this beautiful world verse 2 It's time for fire Smoke and leaves The only mosquito repellent we need Pay respect to the North the South the West and the East Pay respect to the spirit of this whole country Freedom in the hearts of the young and brave Who know little of the journey of the diggers who gave Their lives to the service and the government gains So that we could dance together on this beautiful day And now everybody smiles in the setting sun And sighs with contentment when the day is done Hand in hand With the one you love Feeling blessed by the magic of the moon above And we sing Sha la la la la la la lah We're just living in this beautiful world Sha la la la la la la lah We're just living in this beautiful world Bridge Ohh Ohh Aye Now the winter seeps into my bones And I hear the call from the North Yeah I will go Yeah I will go And now everybody smiles in the setting sun And sighs with contentment when the day is done Hand in hand With the one you love Feeling blessed by the magic of the moon above And we sing... Sha la la la la la la lah We're just living in this beautiful world Sha la la la la la la lah We're just living in this beautiful world Sha la la la la la la lah We're just living in this beautiful world Sha la la la la la la lah We're just living in this beautiful world
