From the recording Australian Songs
Lyrics
"Heaven on Earth" (A. Woodley)
Went down to the church of the crystal breakers
To purify my soul
Saw the children running on the white sand
Like I did so many years ago
Oak Park
South Cronulla
Forever
One life, one life
The seagulls cry
One life, one life
The seagulls cry
And the stars above say
Shark and dolphin
On the horizon
Heaven on earth
Andn the fathers walk
Into the water
Baptizing babies
Give’em to their mothers
Welcome to heaven
Heaven on earth
Heaven on earth
Went down to the river of forgiveness
Port Hacking green
Eucalyptus congregation
Sleepy sandbar dreaming
Magpie, kookaburra
Good to see ya
How have you been
And all I have to do is love you
And all I have to do is come to
Heaven on earth
Heaven on earth
Heaven on earth
You can ride the highways of the world
And cross the seven seas from coast to coast
Carry you so far away
And bring you back again
Bring you home
To heaven on earth
Heaven on earth
Heaven on earth
Went down to the city of celebration
Port Jackson blue
Manly ferry rocking gently
Wooloomooloo
Parramatta river cat-a
I love you
Too
One life, one life
The seagulls cry
One life, one life
The seagulls cry
And the stars above say
Kangaroo smiling
Wallaby flying
Heaven on earth
The whales in the harbour
Waltzing Matilda
This is Australia
Heaven on earth
Heaven on earth
Heaven on earth
Heaven on earth
