Grasshopper Jumping
Dedicated to all the buffel busters out there!
For more information on how to beat back buffel, visit the Arid Lands Environment Centre, Alice Springs Landcare or join the Olive Pink Botanic Gardens Buffel Beats.
You can read my original blogpost about the writing of this song.
And a big thanks to local sound engineer and film maker Pin Rada, check out more of his work here.
Long grass, grasshoppers jumping
Long grass, grasshoppers leaping
Long grass, grasshoppers flying
Up to reach the sky
Lo-o-ong grass, grasshopper
Lo-o-ong grass, grasshopper
Lo-o-ong grass, grasshopper
Up to reach the sky
When the world is closing in
It’s taken over
By a hungry, thirsty weed
That covers the earth’s skin
When you find it hard to breathe
You’re feeling smothered
Leap up to reach the sky
