Lyrics:

Terra nullius, terra nullius
Terra nullius is dead and gone
We were right
That we were here
They were wrong
That we weren't here
Liya balburrk bapa-lili, Liya waltjan bapa-lili
Liya balburrk bapa-lili, Liya waltjan bapa-lili

Meriam people are dancing
Pastime heroes are dancing too
Mabo's spirit is sailing
Telling the world a story

Terra nullius, terra nullius
Terra nullius is dead and gone
Liya balburrk bapa-lili, Liya waltjan bapa-lili
Liya balburrk bapa-lili, Liya waltjan bapa-lili
We were right
That we were here
They were wrong
That we weren't here
We were right
That we were here
They were wrong
That we weren't here

Mabo's law is standing firm
Shedding power
To us to be strong
Spirit, law, culture and all
Showing the world
See our law

Terra nullius, terra nullius
Terra nullius is dead and gone
We were right
That we were here
They were wrong
That we weren't here
Liya balburrk bapa-lili, Liya waltjan bapa-lili
Bapa-lili, bapa-lili
Bapa-lili, bapa-lili
