作词 : Bruce Woodley/Dobe Newton

I came from the Dreamtime

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've been

The first 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 a 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 plain

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"

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
