Well I heard it on the radio And I saw it on the television Back in 1988 All those talking politicians Words are easy, words are cheap Much cheaper than our priceless land But promises can disappear Just like writing in the sand
This land was never given up This land was never bought and sold The planting of the Union Jack Never changed our law at all
Now two rivers run their course Separated for so long I'm dreaming of a brighter day When the waters will be one
Treaty Yeh Treaty Now Treaty Yeh Treaty Now Treaty Yeh Treaty Now Treaty Yeh Traty Now

Promises - Disappear - Priceless land - Destiny -
Well I heard it on the Radio - And I saw it on the Television But promises can be broken Just like writing in the sand
