Xavier Rudd - 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
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]

Xavier Rudd Bow Down Comments
Where are you now Xavier??? Do you still have the same thoughts and feelings about the Earth and the life?
💯 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.
Beautiful. Im listening to music before the climate rally here in denver. Heading down with my two and four yr old. ❤🌍❤
I want Xavier to play with Tash Sultana, that would be heaven.
I want him and TashSultana to play together. My favorite Aussies
Yanina Miller I literally just thought about them playing together would be nice😆
Awesome ❤️
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

sooooo love it ♥
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.

next aussie anthem???
Wow, nice!!!! This guy is like the resurrected, healed & cured Kurt Cobain! :D
@Pedro Peyote if Kurt Cobain and Bob Marley had a love child it would be Xavier Rudd
@Pedro Peyote ahhh
No way. I was just saying to my friend I think Cobain faked his death and moved to Australia ^^^^^
he's nothing Kurt.. .. and I full respect old mate. . but. listen. this tribal. its all around u.
old mate unfortunately. was drowning it out.. .was too big for him to see. feel at young age.
~Give Thanks To The Sun~~~~
Love you. You never fail to make me happy xxxx
Thank you!!! Much love Brother
anyone know the name of the instrument he's playing (not didgeridoo)
If oyu mean the guitar that his playing in his lap, its called lap steel guitar, the one he's using is a weissenborn i think. Pretty cool instruments imo.
FREEDOM FOR ALL!
Everytime he dances he's doing a spirit dance
Trevor Hall mixed with John Butler Trio? Glad to have you at 80/35 here in a month in Des Moines!
1 in a 1000 comment.. sad.. its like applauding .. dam
marijuana + xavier = heaven
Marijuana + xavier + cuddles = super heaven
+Flávia Franqueiro Mushrooms plus lsd plus xavier = is the best heaven ever .
man, kurt cobain really chilled out
since nearly 48h i'm only listening xavier rudd, you are genious!
this is great
Well said Alaskatain75...How cool for Us that Xaiver has such a grounded sense of Who He Is that he can do his part and some so that We can remember...So I can remember what I know yet forget to avoid my responsibility for. I love this song it speaks to me...ty
Avalon stage, Glastonbury, Sunday night.
Have a wonderful night brother.
Wow !!! Would love to have seen this video shooting !! Can`t wait for the concert in Frankfurt !!
i am so high and xavier rudd is the perfect music. Greets from Smoking Germany
I share this thought, I have said the same thing and also about Spirit Bird
freedom for all and animals ^^
This is truth.
this video has a gravity of its own.
could be the official song of the idle no more movement ;)
what a video it has so much meaning and such a cool prespective veiw
/watch?v=1pm4fQRl72k
It sounded familiar to me, but I didn't want to believe it. Well, the quest for an amazing unknown artist is open again. Anyway I won't throw away Xavier...
so fucking good
Feeling so out of touch with nature then I heard this song at his magical concert last weekend. Thankyou for the amazing ENERGY Xavavier!
this track is soo heavy
He has a very good voice.But even if he didn't his message is more important than the delivery
Be the change you wish to see in the world....
Free spirits everywhere...
One Love 2 All
wonderful
Seeing him Live! House of Blues Chicago Nov 7th 2012!!!
FREO ARTS CENTRE TOMORROW!
YES HE DOES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THANK YOU
so fucking excited for yallingup show
Shit me you gotta good local busker then?! Lucky you.
beautiful words well said
Thank you, Xavier. Beautiful songs-as always.
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
It seems to me his songs always seem short... I guess time accelerates when you truly enjoy something!
Lyrics please?
he has the worst voice I have ever heard, no better than my local busker
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 -.-
no he past out with amazement and hit the thumbs down button silly lol namaste and spiritual awakening
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
did someone know the tuning he use on is Teardrop for this one!?
That 1 person who disliked this, Obviously doesnt have ears
WHO THE FUCK DISLIKED THIS????
Thanks so much for sharing! Amazing track...new album is a powerful vibration of love and awareness! Great Sounds!!!
Xavier, absolute inspiration to my life. You make this a better place. The best role model to everybody. The world is a better place with your inspirtation and music. Peace!
Xavier, my Brother, you are a Rainbow Warrior of Pure Love. You lift up my soul, give me the courage to spread my wings of Love and Fly as a Spirit Bird. FREEDOM FOR ALL! Huge waves of Infinite Love and Gratutude coming your way...
So GOOD!
JUST BOUGHT IT!!!
Tomorrow, My life changes
xavier bringing the forest music, back to our roots. ♥ 'n' gratitude
LOVE this song and all the new tracks... really connected. Much love
can't wait for the new album! yay
TWO DAYS TOO GO!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you so very much for your beautiful soul and powerful lyrics Xavier
3 more days
there a lot in this new album!!!
cool....but more didge please
:-)
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.
Well Done!.....Again!
wonder, wonder, wonderful.
Spectacularly beautiful - again and again... Much respect
