Song language: English
I Am Australian |
| I came from the dream-time |
| From the dusty red soil plains |
| I am the ancient heart, the keeper of the flame |
| I stood upon the rocky shore |
| I watched the tall ships come |
| For forty thousand years I’ve been the first Australian |
| We are one, but we are many |
| And from all the lands on earth we come |
| We share a dream and sing with one voice |
| I am, you are, we are Australian |
| I came upon the prison ship |
| Bowed down by iron chains |
| I cleared the land, endured the lash |
| And waited for the rains |
| I’m a settler, I’m a farmer’s wife on a dry and barren run |
| A convict then a free man, I became Australian |
| We are one, but we are many |
| And from all the lands on earth we come |
| We share a dream and sing with one voice |
| I am, you are, we are Australian |
| I’m the daughter of a digger |
| Who sought the mother lode |
| 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 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, I paint the ghostly gums |
| I am Clancy on his horse, I’m Ned Kelly on the run |
| I’m the one who waltzed Matilda, I am Australian |
| We are one, but we are many |
| And from all the lands on earth we come |
| We share a dream and sing with one voice |
| I am, you are, we are Australian |
| There are no words of comfort |
| That can hope to ease the pain |
| Of losing homes and loved ones |
| The memories will remain |
| Within the silent tears |
| You’ll find the strength to carry on |
| You’re not alone, we are with you |
| We are Australian! |
| We are one, but we are many |
| And from all the lands on earth we come |
| We share a dream and sing with one voice |
| I am, you are, we are Australian |
| There are so many heroes whose stories must be told |
| They fought the raging fires of hell |
| And saved so many souls |
| From the ashes of despair our towns will rise again! |
| We mourn your loss, we will rebuild |
| We are Australian! |
| We are one, but we are many |
| And from all the lands on earth we come |
| We share a dream and sing with one voice |
| I am, you are, we are Australian |
| I’m the hot wind from the desert |
| I’m the black soil of the plains |
| I’m the mountains and the valleys |
| I’m the drought 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 share a dream and sing with one voice |
| I am, you are, we are Australian |
| I am, you are, we are Australian! |
| We are one… We are many… We are Australian! |
