[Verse 1]
Back in the 1970s
There was movement on the land
Yolngu people moved back to their promised land
The wheel was a-turning
And the feeling was bright
Dhuwa Yirritja people returned to their land

[Chorus]
Power to the people
Power to the land
Power for culture revival
Power for survival

[Verse 2]
See the camp fire burning
And the children are yearning
Talking about
Peace and harmony
Yolngu education
Is the key for redemption
And the homeland centre movement is here to stay

[Chorus]
Power to the people
Power to the land
Power for culture revival
Power for survival
[Verse 3]
Hear the thunder in the sky
See the lightning of the [?]
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
Power to the land
Power for culture revival
Power for survival

Power to the people
Power to the land
Power for culture revival
Power for survival

[Outro]
This is the homeland movement
Homeland movement
[?] movement
[?] movement
