Lo-Tel - We Are Australian lyrics
Your rating:
'Cause 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 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'd been the first Australian I came upon the prison ship bound 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 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 'Cause 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'm Clancy on his horse, I'm Ned Kelly on the run I'm the one who waltzed Matilda, I am Australian I'm the hot wind from the desert, the black soil of the plains I'm the mountains and the valleys, I'm the drought and flooding rains I'm the rock, I am the sky, the rivers when they run The spirit of this great land, I am Australian 'Cause 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 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 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
