"MARY MUST NEVER BE DAMMED"
LICENSED and © Words and Music by Steve Dennis Copyright 2006
CHORUS
Blest is Our Mary, from her home in the Mountains
She tumbles down the Conondales and wanders through our lands,
She is an angel, she is sacred, she is holy,
And Mary must never be dammed,
Mary must never be dammed.
VERSES
From the Blackall Range to Fraser Island,
She is the lifeblood of the valleys and the plains,
Past thriving towns and fertile farmlands
Carrying the liquid gold of precious summer rains
She quenched the thirst of Megafauna
She was a baby when the Conondales arose
And she has witnessed evolution
The generations, she has watched them come and go
When she is very rarely angry,
She will flood the land to cleanse her aching soul
Then soon she's back to being gentle
Quiet lullaby, the music of her flow.
Instrumental chorus x2
BRIDGE
And on towards the ocean, carrying so much that's vital for the sea
We know her flow is crucial, for survival of the fisheries
For survival of the Great Sandy,
survival of the Great Sandy
LAST VERSE
What of her threatened children, the lung fish, Turtle and the Cod?
We must fight to stop extinction,
The future of the Mary must flow on and on
