Storm Boy Lyrics - Xavier Rudd

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

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

And now everybody smiles in the setting sun 

And smiles 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 

We're just living in this beautiful world 

Sha la la la la 

We're just living in this beautiful world 

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 smiles 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 

We're just living in this beautiful world 

Sha la la la la 

We're just living in this beautiful world 

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 smiles 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 

We're just living in this beautiful world 

Sha la la la la 

We're just living in this beautiful world
