Oh you're the big heart of the country all the world 
comes through your gate
You're everybody's comrade and you're everybody's mate
You're the front door of Australia with friendship 
flowing forth
And we're proud to say come in this way through the big 
heart of the north

Many oceans roll to meet the silver sands upon your 
shore
Many races walk along your streets and freedoms they 
enjoy
With the bright blue sky above you, you uphold 
Australia's torch
You're a jewel shining for us you're the big heart of 
the north

Oh you're the big heart of the country all the world 
comes through your gate
You're everybody's comrade and you're everybody's mate
You're the front door of Australia with friendship 
flowing forth
And we're proud to say come in this way through the big 
heart of the north

[Instrumental]

From the world they come and from the south there's a 
place for everyone
A helping hand and a friendly smile and a place there 
in the sun
And when they leave and turn their faces further down 
the track
You smile and say so long my friend cause you'll soon 
be coming back

Oh you're the big heart of the country all the world 
comes through your gate
You're everybody's comrade and you're everybody's mate
You're the front door of Australia with friendship 
flowing forth
And we're proud to say come in this way through the big 
heart of the north

Oh you're the big heart of the country all the world 
comes through your gate
You're everybody's comrade and you're everybody's mate
You're the front door of Australia with friendship 
flowing forth
And we're proud to say come in this way through the big 
heart of the north
And yes we're proud to say come in this way through the 
big heart of the north
