[Verse 1]
Back in the 1970s, there was movement on the land
Yolngu people moved back to their promised land
The wheel was a-turnin', and the feelin' was right
Dhuwa, Yirritja people, returned to their land

[Chorus]
Power to the people (To the people)
Power to their land (To their land)
Power for culture revival (For culture revival)
Power for survival (For survival)

[Verse 2]
See the camp fire burnin'
And the children are yearnin'
Talkin' about peace and harmony
Yolngu education
Is the key for redemption
And the homelands centre movement is here to stay

[Chorus]
Power to the people (To the people)
Power to their land (To their land)
Power for culture revival (For culture revival)
Power for survival (For survival)
[Verse 3]
Hear the thunder in the sky
See the lightning of the snake
And the old men are calling
Seeking help from the young ones
Yolngu education
Is the key for redemption
And the old men are calling
Seeking help from the young ones

[Chorus]
Power to the people (To the people)
Power to their land (To their land)
Power for culture revival (For culture revival)
Power for survival (For survival)
Power to the people (To the people)
Power to their land (To their land)
Power for culture revival (For culture revival)
Power for survival (For survival)

[Outro]
This is the homeland movement
