Kangaroo Dreaming
I close my eyes and go inside
And travel back inside my mind
Back to when the serpent came
He formed the land and brought the rain
The mountain ranges pushed up high
The eagles gliding across the sky
To all the animals he gave meaning
But to the Red Kangaroo a special Dreaming
The eagle owns the world above the land
But to the Red Kangaroo belongs the desert sand
The big red buck protects his mob
Keeping them safe his only job
Until the day when the invadors came
Changing his world so it was never the same
Taking land and destroying the ways
Pushing others into the desert to graze
Mixing blood so the young no longer belonged
Killing with guns so he couldn't be strong
But travel out to the desert lands
Where the sky shimmers above the red sands
And the Red Kangaroo still ruling his mob 
His Dreaming strong.
