[Verse]

Before the coal before the steel

Before the wheels began to squeal

They walked the land with bare feet strong

A quiet rhythm their ancient song

[Chorus]

No cars no coins no towering spires

They lived with earth their one desire

A hundred thousand years they thrived

The heartbeat of the land alive

[Verse 2]

No need for gold no need for greed

The rivers spoke the trees would lead

The stars would guide their endless roam

This land of plenty was their home

[Chorus]

No cars no coins no towering spires

They lived with earth their one desire

A hundred thousand years they thrived

The heartbeat of the land alive

[Bridge]

But now the earth it cries in pain

The scars of progress leave their stain

The wisdom lost yet still it calls

The echoes bounce from ancient walls

[Chorus]

No cars no coins no towering spires

They lived with earth their one desire

A hundred thousand years they thrived

The heartbeat of the land alive
