I came from the deamtime, Fom the dusty red soil plains, I am the anciet heart, The keeper of the flames, I stood upon the rocky shore, I wathched the tall ships come, For forty thousand years I´ve been the first Australian. I came upon the prison ships, Bound down by iron chains, I cured the land, Endured the lash, And waited for the rains, I´m a settler, I´m a farmers wife, On a dry and barren run, A convict and a free man, I bacame Australian. I´m a daughter of a digger, Who sought the mother load, The girl became a woman, On the long and dusty road, I´m a child of the depression, I saw the good times come, I´m a bushy I´m a battler, I am Australian. We are one, But we are many, And from all the lands on earth we come
We'll share a dream
And sing with one voice
I am, you are, we are Australian
I'm a teller of stories
I'm a singer of songs
I am Albert Namatjira
And I paint the ghostly gums
I'm Clancy on his horse
I'm Ned Kelly on the run
I'm the one who waltzed matilda
I am Australian I'm the hot wind from the desert
I'm the black soil of the plain
I'm the mountains and the valleys
I'm the drowned and flooding rains
I am the rock
I am the sky
The rivers when they run
The spirit of this great land
I am Australian We are one
But we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We'll share a dream
And sing with one voice
I am, you are, we are Australian We are one
But we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We'll share a dream
And sing with one voice
I am, you are, we are Australian.
