Song language: English
I Am Australian |
| I came from the dreamtime |
| From the dusty red-soil plains |
| I am the ancient heart |
| The keeper of the flames |
| i Stood upon the rocky shore |
| I watched the tall ships come |
| For fourty 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 barron run |
| A convict and a free man |
| I became Australian |
| Im a daughter of a digger |
| Who sought the mother load |
| The girl became a women |
| On the long and dusty road |
| Im a child of the depression |
| I saw the good time come |
| Im a bushy im a battler |
| I am australian |
| Chourus: |
| 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 |
| Im a teller of stories |
| Im a singer of songs |
| i am Albert namajera |
| and i paint the ghostly gums |
| im clancy on his horse |
| Im ned kelly on the run |
| Im the one who waltzed matilda |
| i am australian |
| im the hot wind from the desert |
| im the black soil of the plain |
| im the mountains and the valleys |
| im 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 |
| Chorus x2 |
