Lyrics This Is Australia Calling - John Williamson

This Is Australia Calling

There’s a message from the outback
A murmur on the breeze
From restless dreams
Awaken me this morning
The message came from Uluru
The spirit’s ill at ease
In ancient voices sounding out a warning
«You've taken all you wanted!»
I heard the anguished cry
«The time has come to say «enough"before the well runs dry»
This is Australia calling
This is Australia calling
Hear comes the future
Time to fire up
Gotta find a way
To get this country rolling
Doom and gloom is easy
We’ve gotta shake it off
Gotta get up early in the morning
The honeymoon is over
Can you hear the calls
We’ve gotta come out fighting
Our backs against the wall
This is Australia calling
This is Australia calling
This is Australia calling
This is Australia calling
Is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there
This is Australia calling
This is Australia calling
This is Australia calling
This is Australia calling
