I'Ve Been, Seen And Done That |
I’ve seen the earth baked by the sun, |
Cracked and black on the Queensland run, |
Seen blue water and sugar cane, |
Smelled it’s sweetness after rain, |
Against a blazing northern sky, |
I have seen the wedge-tails fly, |
And in a winter heart and long, |
Heard the call of the currawong, |
And I’ve seen the Snowy Mountains high, |
An' I know how the mountain men can ride, |
And I’ll always remember an' I’ll be glad, |
That I’ve been, I’ve seen an' I’ve done that. |
I’ve seen people come an' seen them go, |
Heard their laughter an' their woe, |
Seen them prosper, seen them thrive, |
Seen them battle to survive, |
I have heard the music of this land, |
In it’s river, it’s rocks and trees and sand, |
The click of singing sticks and didgeridoo, |
As dancers tell the legends old and new, |
And beneath the iron ranges of the west, |
I have walked through desert-pea and spinefex, |
And I’ll always remember an' I’ll be glad, |
That I’ve been, I’ve seen an' I’ve done that. |
By the lakes and forests tall, |
I’ve heard the Gippsland Bellbirds call, |
Felt the heat and terror wild, |
Beating back the roaring red bush fire, |
I’ve tasted the vintage of the south, |
Followed the Murray to its mouth, |
I’ve stood where our forebears came in chains, |
They’d never know their prison grim today, |
And where ever and how far I may go, |
My country is implanted in my soul, |
For I’ll always remember an' I’ll be glad, |
That I’ve been, I’ve seen an' I’ve loved that; |
For I’ll always remember an' I’ll be glad, |
That I’ve been, I’ve seen an' I’ve loved that; |
