I Was Here Lyrics by Broderick Smith’s Big Combo

1981

In a silent moment
Just before the dawn
A whipbird cracked beside a lake
Protected from the storm
Clouds did rage and billow
Further to the west
The sun rose up above the trees
Like an eagle from it’s nest
I was here
No-one can take that away from me
I was here
A falcon slowly circled
His eye upon the prey
And lightning struck a bone white tree
On a green hill far away
In sun and golden armour
We stood upon the shore
My brother cupped his hands to his mouth
And sang out with a roar
I was here
No-one can take that away from me
I was here
On tenement and pylon
On walls and in the street
Someone took a piece o’ chalk
And wrote eternity
But in a silent moment
My brothers shout serene
Echoed out on Mirror Lake
His words were strong and clean
