Australia
I am the bushland dawning
in the stillness of the morning
I am the sunlit plains
and the mighty river痴 flow
I知 the drought and I知 the flood
I知 the earth and I知 the blood
I知 the breezes ever blowing
where the wild pandanas grow
I知 the stockman and the drover
and I致e walked this land all over
and I share forgotten secrets
that the wild ones only know
I知 the dust of outback trails
I知 the wind that fills the sails
I知 the city and the country
and the first high mountain snow
I知 the Murray River flowing
and the cattle softly lowing
I知 the kangaroo and emu
and the sunset痴 orange glow
I知 the Southern Cross at night
the explorer痴 guiding light
I知 the place that tells the traveller
that it痴 better to go slow
I am Banjo and I知 Lawson
I am Kelly and I知 Mawson
I am the Melbourne Cup
and the Sydney Easter Show
I am wild and still untamed
and there痴 beauty in my name
I am the land Australia
where lucky people go.
