[Oe List ...] The Earth Belongs To All

[the telfords]

Hi Shelley and Steve and OE,
>From the mini Archival selection of song books in our garage/comfy office,
from the Land Down under
I have found what you're looking for:
Here we go:

Local people Rise again:
Born in Plenty, raised up blind
All turned hollow, something there was wrong
Human suffering over all the world
Six billion people die and never live.
                      All the earth belongs to all
                       That's the vision and the call
                      Local people rise again
                        To build the earth, the common earth.
Joined the rebels, lost the past
Saw destruction, nothing really changed
Human suffering over all the world-
Six billion.....

Then a stranger loved by none,
All was gone, every hope had died,
Human suffering........
Six billion........

At the centre, aweful calm,
Born of spirit, then my life was gone
Human suffering .......
Six billion.....

>From the centre we shall stand,
In every nation, throughout every land
Building patterns to release the new;
Dying daily that the new may live.


This is quite timely to re read and sing this song as we approach the
national election which has included the trechonian legislation over the
Indigenous people in the Northern Territory - the Northern territory
Intervention - which Steve you'd remember well.
With this in mind I'm enclosing a Statement of response to the Northern
Territory Intervention which some of us who are part of the Women's
Reconciliation Network drafted. Please feel free to send this where you know
it will help make a difference.

Have fun singing the song Shelley.
Peace and Hope for a just society especially at this time for the "Land Down
under", Iraq, Afghanistan and..................

Elaine  and John
