big country – christmas island lyrics
i volunteered for overseas
for i would not leave such friends as these
we hid our eyes from a thousand suns
but we faced the mad wind, everyone
the cloud grew high as i hid a tear
for the weapon of peace was the tool of fear
on christmas island
i left the truth so far away
christmas island
freedom took my soul away
i breathed the air, i tasted soil
where the forests die and the harvests spoil
now the horse is gone, you close the gate
say my pain is a twist of fate
well i took your wages, that is true
but you never warned of what you knew
on christmas island
i left the truth so far away
christmas island
freedom took my soul away
i did my duty and it did me wrong
so the time i have may not be long
i will not leave here quietly
for the fallout fell and it fell on me
