[00:10.32]I came from the dream-time
[00:13.77]From the dusty red-soil plains
[00:17.21]I am the ancient heart
[00:19.79]The keeper of the flame
[00:22.99]I stood upon the rocky shores
[00:26.46]I watched the tall ships come
[00:29.54]For forty thousand years I've been
[00:32.84]The first Australian
[00:41.40]I came upon the prison ship
[00:44.41]Bowed down by iron chains
[00:47.72]I played the land endured the lash
[00:51.33]And waited for the rains
[00:54.45]I'm a settler I'm a farmer's wife
[00:57.81]On a dry and barren run
[01:01.33]A convict then a free man
[01:04.68]I became Australian
[01:13.05]I'm the daughter of a digger
[01:16.28]Who sought the mother lode
[01:19.70]The girl became a woman
[01:23.00]On the long and dusty road
[01:26.34]I'm a child of the Depression
[01:29.63]I saw the good times come
[01:33.11]I'm a bushie I'm a battler
[01:36.41]I am Australian
[01:41.09]We are one but we are many
[01:47.74]And from all the lands on earth we come
[01:54.03]We'll share a dream and sing with one voice
[02:02.07]I am you are we are Australian
[02:13.49]I'm a teller of stories
[02:16.79]I'm a singer of songs
[02:19.76]I am Albert Namatjira
[02:23.32]And I paint the ghostly gums
[02:26.83]I'm Clancy on his horse
[02:29.99]I'm Ned Kelly on the run
[02:33.44]I'm the one who waltzed Matilda
[02:36.91]I am Australian
[02:42.06]I'm the hot wind from the desert
[02:45.33]I'm the black soil of the plains
[02:48.68]I'm the mountains and the valleys
[02:52.01]I'm the drought and flooding rains
[02:55.22]I am the rock I am the sky
[02:58.74]The rivers when they run
[03:02.15]The spirit of this great land
[03:05.57]I am Australian
[03:10.01]We are one but we are many
[03:16.78]And from all the lands on earth we come
[03:23.07]We'll share a dream and sing with one voice
[03:31.02]I am you are we are Australian
[03:37.46]We are one
[03:38.74]We are one but we are many
[03:43.68]And from all the lands on earth we come
[03:49.97]We'll share a dream and sing with one voice
[03:57.97]I am you are we are Australian
[04:04.29]Yes I am you are we are Australian
