Climb on board, dreamers and travellers
Whoever you may be, take a journey with me.
Feel the woven textures beneath your feet.
Smell the Murray River in the weave.
Take yourself to the balloon’s edge
Feel the breezes through the sedge.
Touch textures of the air as we fly.
Sense the depth of sky below.
Search the windows that we pass
for the dreamers beyond.
Ask yourself, Am I afraid?
Or am I brave?
Sense the strength of angels
Ignite reconciliation’s flame.
