I grew tall
In this lucky land
And I thank God for that
But there's needles in the sand
Ozone in eucalypts
And on the steppes tonight
There's a pushing and a shoving
On the throne tonight

It's the rhythm of the sea
Lost islands of hope
It's the rhythm of the sea
Who will discover you

But I won't be down at heel
'Cause my senses lead me here
Dream a South Pacific dream
Of now or never land
It's now or never land

Rises in rivers
In power of the sun
Rises in sea level
Look out Mammon's bastard son
Infidels are praying
At the stock exchange
Chrome camels are crashing
On the smooth terrain

It's the rhythm of the sea
Lost islands of hope
It's the rhythm of the sea
Someone to carry you

But I won't be down at heel
'Cause my senses lead me here
Dream a South Pacific dream
Of now or never land

Suitcase full of good ideas
History that's filled with tears
Kill nostalgia, xenophobic fears
It's now or never land
It's now or never land

But I won't be down at heel
'Cause my senses lead me here
Dream a South Pacific dream
Of now or never land
It's now or never land
