Messages Lyrics

So now come sit down
Will you talk with me now?
Let me see through your eyes
Where there is so much life
We are biding our time
For these myths to unwind
These changes we will confront

So please beware
With every place that you had
And look to your soul
For these things that you know
For the trees that we see
Cannot forever breathe
With the changes they will confront

You know some people
They just wont understand
They just wont understand these things
Thank you for your message
But I don't understand
No, I just wont understand these things

And this sacred land it has
Seen many hands, it has
Wealth and gold yet it is
Fragile and old and all the
Greedy souls just don't care to know
Of the changes it will confront

So speak out loud of the
Things you are proud
And if you love this coast then
Keep it clean as it evolves
Cos the way that it shines
May just dwindle with time
With the changes it will confront

You know some people
They just wont understand
They just wont understand these things
Thank you for your message
But I don't understand
No, I just wont understand these things
You know some people
They just wont understand
They just wont understand these things
Thank you for your message
But I don't understand
No, I just wont understand these things

So hold nice and close
The ones that get to your soul
So that when it is cold
You wont feel so alone
Cos the roads that you take
May just crack and break
With the changes you will confront

With each gift that you share
You may heal and repair
With each choice you make
You may help someone's day
Well I know you are strong
May your journey be long
And now I wish you the best of luck
Well I know you are strong
May your journey be long
And now I wish you the best of luck

You know some people
They just wont understand
They just wont understand these things
Thank you for your message
But I don't understand
No, I just wont understand these things

great song & will forever take on new meanings. with climate change scepticism reinvigorated by the potential carbon tax. It's not that they 'can't' understand it's that they 'won't' understand as it's inconvenient. this song will stand the test of time as an eco-anthem in australia.

i just love this song so much. its confronting when you think about how the world is changing and our place in it. some people just disregard the landscape even though we depend on it.

Some people disreguard the environment, and wont change their views no matter what. "thank you for your message, but i won't understand"

"these trees that we see, cannot forever breathe with the change it will confront" With the forever changing environment and forrest chopping, the trees that are left cannot "forever breathe" and keep fighting against at the changes taking place.

People should respect the environment more and "keep it clean as it evolves" so the world's environment will not be destroyed

i recently discovered xavier rudd. i cant believe it took me this long. i listened to him the entire time i was in mexico and he will forever remind me of that place. i just found out he is opening for dave which makes me exstatic and i might catch a plane all the way up to massy just to see xavier rudd open for mr.dave matthews. thats how amazing i think it will be.

this is another fantastic song written by xavier. its about all the ignorant people who just can't or won't listen to the reality of our situation. they live comfortably in their bubble, not caring about the changes our environment is confronting due to our mistakes. i hope this song opens up some peoples eyes...
