I came from the dreamtime
From the dusty red-soil plains
I am the ancient heart
The keeper of the flames
I stood upon the rocky shore
I watched the tall ships come
For fourty thousand years i've been the first australian

I came upon the prison ships
Bound down by iron chains
I cured the land
Endured the lash
And waited for the rains
I'm a settler
I'm a farmers wife
On a dry and barron run
A convict and a free man
I became australian

Im a daughter of a digger
Who sought the mother load
The girl became a women
On the long and dusty road
Im a child of the depression
I saw the good time come
Im a bushy im a battler
I am australian

Chourus:

We are one
But we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We'll share a dream
And sing with one voice
I am you are we are australian

Im a teller of stories
Im a singer of songs
I am albert namajera
And i paint the ghostly gums
Im clancy on his horse
Im ned kelly on the run
Im the one who waltzed matilda
I am australian

Im the hot wind from the desert
Im the black soil of the plain
Im the mountains and the valleys
Im the drowned and flooding rains
I am the rock
I am the sky
The rivers when they run
The spirit of this great land
I am australian
