I Am Australian

I came upon the prison ship
 Bound 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 sought the mother lode
 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 battler
 I am Australian.
 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 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, I am the sky
 The rivers when they run
 The spirit of this great land
 I am Australian.
 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 came from the dreaming
 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
 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
 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 am, you are, we are Australian
