Bip 88 Posted February 2, 2005 Report Share Posted February 2, 2005 Would the group be The Seekers. B) No don't laugh. B) I Am 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 shores, I watched the tall ships come; For forty thousand years I've been the first Australian. I came upon the prison ship, bowed down by iron chains; I fought 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 sowed the mother load; The girl became a woman on the long and dusty road. I'm a child of the depression, I saw the good times come; I'm a bushy, I'm a backer, I am Australian. Chorus: 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." I'm a teller of stories, I'm a singer of songs; I am Albert Namatjira, and I paint the ghostly gums. I'm Clancy on his horse, I'm Ned Kelly on the run; I'm the one who waltzed Matilda, I am Australian. I'm the heart 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, I am the sky, the rivers when they run; The spirit of this great land, I am Australian. (Chorus twice) I am, you are, we are Australian. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
