[00:00.58]I Am Australian
[00:08.79](1987 - Bruce Woodley, The Seekers and Dobe Newton, The Bushwackers)
[00:35.03]I came from the dreamtime from the dusty red soil plains
[00:41.61]I am the ancient heart, the keeper of the flame
[00:48.19]I stood upon the rocky shore
[00:51.47]I watched the tall ships come
[00:54.95]For forty thousand years I'd been the first Australian.
[01:06.28]I came upon the prison ship bowed down by iron chains.
[01:13.06]I cleared the land, endured the lash and waited for the rains.
[01:19.41]I'm a settler.
[01:21.02]I'm a farmer's wife on a dry and barren run
[01:26.23]A convict then a free man I became Australian.
[01:37.54]I'm the daughter of a digger who sought the mother lode
[01:44.32]The girl became a woman on the long and dusty road
[01:50.66]I'm a child of the depression
[01:53.94]I saw the good times come
[01:57.22]I'm a bushy, I'm a battler
[02:00.71]I am Australian
[02:03.19][chorus]
[02:05.03]We are one, but we are many
[02:11.62]And from all the lands on earth we come
[02:17.34]We share a dream and sing with one voice:
[02:17.77]I am, you are, we are Australian
[02:22.30]I am, you are, we are Australian.
[02:36.66]I'm a teller of stories
[02:39.92]I'm a singer of songs
[02:43.26]I am Albert Namatjira
[02:44.46]I paint the ghostly gums
[02:49.83]I am Clancy on his horse
[02:52.66]I'm Ned Kelly on the run
[02:56.40]I'm the one who waltzed Matilda
[02:59.89]I am Australian
[03:04.64]I'm the hot wind from the desert
[03:07.92]I'm the black soil of the plains
[03:11.23]I'm the mountains and the valleys
[03:14.47]I'm the drought and flooding rains
[03:17.96]I am the rock, I am the sky
[03:21.28]The rivers when they run
[03:24.54]The spirit of this great land
[03:27.81]I am Australian
[03:32.60][chorus]
[03:36.26]We are one, but we are many
[04:05.02]And from all the lands on earth we come
[04:10.30]We share a dream and sing with one voice:
[04:11.67]I am, you are, we are Australian
[04:25.60]I am, you are, we are Australia
