Jazzy D
We walk where the Elders walked.
About the song → ← Back to jazzyd.netWalk With Me is a song about Aboriginal people still walking their own Country — after everything that tried to stop them. It is about connection to Country, a living Dreaming, Elders as present company, and the Wagyl still moving in the rivers of the southwest.
The singer walks the old tracks. The Elders walk with them — not as ghosts, but as living presence. The river remembers the people’s names. The stars watch. The Wagyl still lives in the water. The Dreaming is not a story from long ago; it is still in the river, still in the land, still happening.
We walk where they walked. We rise again. This Country is our home.
Noongar language reference — boodja Country; boordiya Elder/leader; Wagyl Rainbow Serpent; yira yarkiny stand tall. Spellings vary across Noongar Country.
Land, water, sky, ancestors, law and family as one living being. You belong to it. When the song says Country takes us home, the land itself pulls the people back.
Knowledge-holders who carry the law and the right way to walk. Present, not past — walking beside the singer, calling the people home by name.
It carved the rivers of the southwest — the Swan, the Canning — and still lives in the water. Creation is not finished.
The drum of survival after invasion, missions, stolen children, banned language, deaths in custody. The people are still standing.
