Mandawuy Yunupingu / Tribal Voice (Yothu Yindi)

There's a breaking of a rainbow dawn
And the sun will rise up high
There's a whisper in the morning light
Saying "get up and meet the day"

Inside my mind there's a tribal voice
And it's speaking to me every day
And all I have to do is to make a choice
'Cause I know there is no other way

All the people in the world are dreaming
(Get up, stand up)
Some of us cry for the rights of survival now
(Get up, stand up)
Saying "come on, come on, stand up for your rights"

While others don't give a damn (Hey, hey, hey)
They're all waiting for a perfect day
Better get up and fight for your rights
Don't be afraid of the move you make
You better listen to your tribal voice

All the people in the world are dreaming
(Get up, stand up)
Some of us cry for the rights of survival now
(Get up, stand up)
Saying "come on, come on, stand up for your rights"

While others don't give a damn (Hey, hey, hey)
They're all waiting for a perfect day
Better get up and fight for your rights
Don't be afraid of the move you make
You better listen to your tribal voice
You better listen to your tribal voice

Well I wonder if it's part of history
Full of influence and mystery
From where the spirits of my people
Who have just gone before
To the future of another day

All the people in the world are dreaming
(Get up, stand up)
Some of us cry for the rights of survival now
(Get up, stand up)
Saying "come on, come on, stand up for your rights"

While others don't give a damn (Hey, hey, hey)
They're all waiting for a perfect day
Better get up and fight for your rights
Don't be afraid of the move you make
You better listen to your tribal voice

You better listen to your tribal voice
You better listen to your tribal voice
You better listen to your tribal voice
(Get up, stand up)
You better listen to your tribal voice
(Get up, stand up)
You better listen to your tribal voice
(Get up, stand up)
You better listen to your tribal voice
(Get up, stand up)
You better listen to your tribal voice
(Get up, stand up)
You better listen to your tribal voice
(Get up, stand up)
You better listen to your tribal voice
(Get up, stand up)
You better listen to your tribal voice
(Get up, stand up)
