Verse 1
Got to Yirrakala
by plane long trip.
Some of us were scared
First time, holding hands.
Verse 2
Drive to Gove motel,
Unpacking all our stuff.
Off to see Paul Kelly,
Watching people dance.
Chorus
Stand up for one another
Keep our culture strong
Stand up for our land
This is where we belong
Verse 3
Eight days to share
Our story from Utopia
Listen to their stories
Learning different ways to teach
Verse 4
Travelling to homeland schools
Kids greeting us with song
Sharing their culture and
History and family tree
