00:04According to Butchula legend,
00:07Garry Island was created
00:08when a beautiful white heavenly spirit named Garry fell in love with the earth
00:13while helping shape the land
00:16and she chose to rest there forever.
00:21The great god Beryl and his messenger.
00:26Yendingi transformed her into the paradise island
00:29clothing her with forests
00:32making the crystal lakes as her eyes to the sky
00:36and bringing animals to keep her company.
00:47In the hush of dawn
00:49where spirits breathe and dream
00:53Butchula legend of creation whispers softly
00:57stitched to nature's scene
01:00The sand dunes of Garry
01:04The 75 mile beach
01:08They whisper and call to me
01:16From the depths of Butchula legends
01:19The heartbeat of the earth
01:22Garry, a spirit of light
01:25Chosen for her worth
01:28Beneath the ancient trees and rainforest
01:31She found her endless grace
01:34Garry Island's lakes her eyes
01:37Reflect the sky's embrace
01:40Oh Garry, paradise island of dreams
01:44There's magic in your head
01:46There's magic in your head
01:47Stitched from stars and stories
01:50Stitched from stars and stories
01:50Where love is laid bare
01:53Garry, where one Garry ding goes wrong
01:56Guardian so free
01:58In the heart of your creation
02:01We find harmony
02:10Great god Beryl smiled
02:13As Yendingi did soar
02:17Clad Garry in lush forests
02:20Sung her into lore
02:22Totems guide the spirit
02:25An animal or tree assigned
02:28To each Butchula person
02:31Custodian by design
02:34Oh Garry, island of dreams
02:38There's magic in your head
02:40Magic in your head
02:41Stitched from stars and stories
02:44Stitched from stars and stories
02:44Where love is laid bare
02:47Garry, where the warm Garry ding goes wrong
02:50Guardian so free
02:52In the heart of your creation
02:55We find harmony
03:02Dingoes of the sand
03:04We share a kinship bond
03:07Butchula name them
03:09Wangari
03:10Protectors of this land
03:13In their eyes we respond
03:18Harvest from the sea
03:21A seasonal delight
03:24Navigating the channels in canoes
03:27Traditions shining bright
03:30Crafted by canoes
03:33Whisper tales of old
03:36Journey from Garry island to mainland
03:39Stories waiting to be told
03:42Elders' voices echo
03:45Through the sacred trees
03:48No tree can be cut down
03:51Only bark can be harvested
03:55The tree stays in the ground
04:21Butchula law runs deep
04:24A promise held dear
04:27To respect these spirits
04:30Within the land
04:31Keep them near
04:33In the twilight glow
04:36As shadows gently lie
04:39We guard our sacred kin
04:42Under Garry sky
04:45Under Garry sky
04:46Oh Garry
04:47Island of dreams
04:49Magic in your realm
04:51Stitched from stars and stories
04:54Where love is laid bare
04:57Garry
04:58Where the warm Garry ding goes wrong
05:00Guardian so free
05:03In the heart of your creation
05:06In the heart of your creation
05:07We find harmony
05:12In the heart of Garry island
05:15Where creation breeds anew
05:18Every leaf and legend
05:21Whispers of me and you
05:24For in this space
05:27The sacred sand islands
05:29Sublime
05:30Lying in the sands of time
05:36In Queensland
05:38Here in Australia
05:40In Queensland
05:44Here in Australia
05:49Here in Australia
