Lyrics:
'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 but 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, and I paint the ghostly gums I am 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, I'm the black soil of the plains I'm the mountains and the valleys, I'm the drought and flooding rains I am the rock and I'm 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.
