Sing Australia |
I come to Australia as many people do, to see the old koala, hitch a ride on a |
kangaroo. |
To hear somebody call me «Mate"and call somebody «Blue,» |
to hear an Aborigine play a didgeridoo. |
Some of you came as prisoners two centuries ago, |
some of you come as kings and queens your blessing to bestow. |
Some of you stand all swelled with pride, some with shattered wings, |
but all of us come with open hearts to hear Australia sing. |
In the desert, in the city, in the mountains and in the sea. |
In the stories and in the people I can hear Australia sing. |
Waltzing Matilda, the men of Gallipoli, Clancy of the Overflow and Crocodile |
Dundee. |
The myth of all creation, the teaching of Baiame, the legends of the Dreamtime |
for all eternity. |
And in this celebration, a brief two hundred years, |
the cost to build a nation in blood and sweat and tears. |
And if we stand divided, divided we shall fall. |
But if we stand together, |
we shall conquer all. |
In the desert, in the city, in the mountains and in the sea. |
In the stories and in the people I can hear Australia sing. |
Sing Australia, sing Australia, sing Australia, sing Australia. |
In the sails on Sydney Harbour I can hear Australia sing. |
