The song is about people originally leaving Africa and spreading throughout the World, especially Australia. This shows that we are really 'All the Same'.
lyrics
ANCIENT LAND
VERSE 1
Through the mists of time, the land evolved.
Fire and Storm and Ice, did form the Earth.
Out of the sea, they crawled,
for the very first time.
CHORUS
We are all the same. We are all the same.
VERSE 2
Millions of years have passed,
since T.Rex roamed the wilds.
Up in the sky, Pterodactyls flew.
No-one knows why, but they vanished, for all time.
CHORUS
We are all the same. We are all the same.
B SECTION
They moved, to find new lands. They moved, to find new lands.
C SECTION
Out of Africa, man moved, throughout the world.
VERSE 3
Through the mist of time, man evolved.
In the ancient past, they crossed, the narrow seas.
To the ‘Great Southland’, they came for the very first time.
CHORUS
We are all the same. We are all the same.
B SECTION
They moved, to find new lands. They moved, to find new lands.
CHORUS/CODA
We are all the same. We are all the same. We are all the same
