lyrics

Great Big Family
Your home
A rolling home
Keeps rolling on

Great Big Warrior
Your eyes
Are eagle eyes
Dark eagle eyes

But we were afraid
Of what would happen
We were afraid
We knew what would happen

The eldest of our children
He's having trouble breathing this air
So pack it up we're leaving
Bending back our bows of horse hair

We're waving to our friends now
They're bleeding into golden backgrounds
We're aiming for the West Lands
We'll grow up in the desert hands

Why are we turning back around?

Oh, dear God, we said forever
Oh, my Lord, we slept together
Oh, dear God, it's for the better
Oh, my Lord

That's why we don't live in Arizona
