Various - I Am Australian слова песни
(Bruce Woodley and Dobe Newton)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 shore, I watched the tall ships come,For forty thousand years I`d been the first Australian.We are one but we are manyAnd from all the lands on earth we come,we share a dream,And sing with one voice,I am, you are, we are Australian.I came upon the prison ship bound down by iron chainsI cleared 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 runA convict then a free man, I became Australian.I`m the daughter of a digger who sought the mother lodeThe girl became a woman on the long and dusty roadI`m a child of the depression, I saw the good times comeI`m a bushy, I`m a battler, I am Australian.We are one but we are manyAnd from all the lands on earth we come,we 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 songsI am Albert Namatjira, and I paint the ghostly gumsI am Clancy on his horse, I`m Ned Kelly on the runI`m the one who waltzed Matilda, I am Australian.I`m the hot wind from the desert, I`m the black soil of the plainsI`m the mountains and the valleys, I`m the drought and flooding rainsI am the rock, I am the sky, the rivers when they runThe spirit of this great land, I am Australian.We are one but we are manyAnd from all the lands on earth we come,we share a dream,And sing with one voice,I am, you are, we are Australian.
