Rudd, Xavier - Bow Down Lyrics






I sit here now 2010, government still stealing land
Making lame excuses for their greed
While that oil spills into the sea
And the whalers now still killing whales
And old growth bush still being raped
And I know we all have busy lives
But sing along if you have the time

Bow down to your god
But don't forget about the earth
Place your hand on a tree
Who's helping you breathe
Give thanks to the sun
When you open your lungs
Throw your buts in the bin
Help the old turtles swim

Selling tourism on sacred land
While the local mob sit on their hands
If what I'm speaking here makes any sense
Open up my friend and jump the fence

Bow down to your god
But don't forget about the earth
Place your hand on a tree
Who's helping you breathe
Give thanks to the sun
When you open your lungs
Throw your buts in the bin
Help the old turtles swim
[x2]

Freedom for all [repeat]

    Where are you now Xavier??? Do you still have the same thoughts and feelings about the Earth and the life?

  2. L.... B....

    💯 Eternal

    I absolutely love the aboriginal people in his videos. The spiritual inclination is close to my heart. My grandfather was a Cherokee Indian and their cultures have so many similarities. All native tribal Pagan cultures have similarities.

  4. A.... O....

    Beautiful. Im listening to music before the climate rally here in denver. Heading down with my two and four yr old. ❤🌍❤

  5. j.... m....

    I want Xavier to play with Tash Sultana, that would be heaven.

  6. Y.... M....

    I want him and TashSultana to play together. My favorite Aussies

    Y.... M....

    Yanina Miller I literally just thought about them playing together would be nice😆

  7. S.... G....

    Awesome ❤️

    What a great piece of music. I have so much appreciation for this song! Freedom for all! Btw some of the comments on here are absolutely uncalled for. This is music, take it from the positive that it gives, don't spoil it for everyone because you can't be happy with yourself.

  64. E.... ....

    Thank you, Xavier. Beautiful songs-as always.

  65. k.... ....

    My friend, your opinion is tainted no doubt by reality T.V competitions. Art is not competitive, but only an expression of self and what you see is Xavier Rudd, and if you don't like what you see or hear then life will still go on. For myself, a grand dad no less, I have more hope for my grandchildren knowing that people like Xavier Rudd are at least speaking up about the plight of the planet and its inhabitants. Peace

  66. S.... ....

    It seems to me his songs always seem short... I guess time accelerates when you truly enjoy something!

  67. E.... M....

    Lyrics please?

  68. e.... ....

    he has the worst voice I have ever heard, no better than my local busker

  69. B.... G....

    I can't stop listening to this song, It's nice to hear something with such a positive message compared to most of the other music in my generation -.-

  70. e.... ....

    no he past out with amazement and hit the thumbs down button silly lol namaste and spiritual awakening

  71. M.... ....

    I have had much respect for you Xavier, for a long time now... with every new album you bring more and more awareness to people... looking forward to seeing you play again in August... Love, Peace and Magic :o) xo

  72. s.... ....

    did someone know the tuning he use on is Teardrop for this one!?

  73. B.... ....

    That 1 person who disliked this, Obviously doesnt have ears

  74. J.... H....

    WHO THE FUCK DISLIKED THIS????

  75. S.... S....

    Thanks so much for sharing! Amazing track...new album is a powerful vibration of love and awareness! Great Sounds!!!

  76. J.... S....

  86. s.... ....

    there a lot in this new album!!!

  87. S.... C....

    cool....but more didge please
    :-)

  88. C.... L....

    This song echoes with a powerful message of respect and care, of which is lacking today. Rudd's ability to channel his music from a more deeper, spiritual place, has shone through once again. 'Spirit Bird' is promising to be a special record. And I for one am eager for its release. Pre-ordered and awaiting it's arrival.

  89. a.... c....

    Well Done!.....Again!

  90. b.... ....

    wonder, wonder, wonderful.

  91. b.... ....

    Spectacularly beautiful - again and again... Much respect
