I watched the bay unfolding as I enter in my dreaming

The Sea Eagles are flying low to where the school fish run

Lorikeets are flocking so the Mullet will be teaming

And Quandamooka’s smiling in the early morning sun

The blooming Hop Bush tells me Oysters now are in their prime

Flowering Black Birch show that Parrotfish are in the Bay

Each seasons signs are written and have been since our dreaming

And all things are connected this is Quandamooka’s way

Quandamooka Quandamooka lying in the sun

Centre of my heart my world has been since time begun

White man calls you Moreton Bay were the Dugong plays

Oh how my heart is loving the old Quandamooka Ways

Our Dolphin brothers herd the fish to where we share the catch

Taking only what we need than celebrate on shore

I now awaken from my dream to see how things have changed

And no-one listens to our Quandamooka anymore

Men with kites are riding boards where Eagles once flew low

My Dolphin brothers search in vain for Clams of bygone days

The Speedboats hurry hurry with no real place to go

Oh how my heart is pining for old Quandamooka Ways

Quandamooka Quandamooka lying in the sun

Centre of my heart my world has been since time begun

White man calls you Moreton Bay were the Dugong plays

Oh how my heart is loving the old Quandamooka Ways
