Lyrics

Verse 1
Sunrise over Mooloomba, we greet the day with open hearts,
From Amity to Goompi, we all play our part.
On the shores of Minjerribaa, where the sand is soft and white,
There’s a welcome for you, love, in the morning light.
Whether you're from here or far away,
This island calls you home to stay.

Chorus
Our island home, where the ocean meets the sky,
Where every wave whispers You belong, don’t pass us by.
From the red rocks to the Points high view,
There’s room for me, there’s room for you.
We’re all together, hearts set free,
On this land by the salt-kissed sea.

Verse 2
Down at Cylinder Beach, the water’s clear and cool,
Pulan’s dolphins dance, nature’s perfect rule.
Gather ‘round the fire, let’s share a laugh or two,
On North Straddie, there’s always something new.
Feel the spirit of the island in every breeze,
From the trees of Dunwich to the deep blue seas.

Chorus
Our island home, where the ocean meets the sky,
Where every wave whispers You belong, don’t pass us by.
From the red rocks to the Points high view,
There’s room for me, there’s room for you.
We’re all together, hearts set free,
On this land by the salt-kissed sea.

Bridge
Let the history flow through your soul,
From the Quandamooka stories of old.
Every name, every place has a tale to tell,
And here, we’re all part of it as well.

Chorus
Our island home, where the ocean meets the sky,
Where every wave whispers You belong, don’t pass us by.
From the red rocks to the Points high view,
There’s room for me, there’s room for you.
We’re all together, hearts set free,
On this land by the salt-kissed sea.

Outro
So come on in, let’s make a memory,
In this island home, where we’re all family.
