1 AM AUSTRAILIAN

[00:35.24] I came from the dream time, from the dusty red soil plains,

[00:41.44] I am the ancient heart - the keeper of the flame,

[00:47.94] I stood upon the rocky shore, I watched the tall ships come,

[00:54.14] For forty thousand years I'd been the first Australian.

[01:05.14] I came upon the prison ship bound down by iron chains

[01:11.90] I cleared the land, endured the lash and waited for the rains.

[01:18.10] I'm a settler, I'm a farmer's wife on a dry and barren run

[01:24.30] A convict then a free man, I became Australian.

[01:29.94] chorus

[01:35.31] We are one but we are many

[01:41.51] And from all the lands on earth we come,

[01:46.30] we share a dream,

[01:50.54] And sing with one voice,

[01:53.92] I am, you are, we are Australian.

[02:06.36] I'm a teller of stories, I'm a singer of songs

[02:12.55] I am Albert Namatjira, and I paint the ghostly gums

[02:19.06] I am Clancy on his horse, I'm Ned Kelly on the run

[02:25.26] I'm the one who waltzed Matilda, I am Australian.

[02:35.98] I'm the hot wind from the desert, I'm the black soil of the plains

[02:43.30] I'm the mountains and the valleys, I'm the drought and flooding rains

[02:46.12] I am the rock, I am the sky, the rivers when they run

[02:55.69] The spirit of this great land, I am Australian.

[03:01.60] chorus

[03:06.38] We are one but we are many

[03:12.85] And from all the lands on earth we come,

[03:19.62] we share a dream,

[03:21.87] And sing with one voice,

[03:26.39] I am, you are, we are Australian.

[03:33.42] We are one but we are many

[03:38.77] And from all the lands on earth we come,

[03:44.69] we share a dream,

[03:48.63] And sing with one voice,

[03:52.02] I am, you are, we are Australian.
