I Am Australian Lyrics - 50: The Golden Jubilee Album - Seekers

I came from the dreamtime 

From the dusty red soil plains 

I am the ancient heart 

The keeper of the flames 

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 ships 

Bound down by iron chains 

I cured the land 

Endured the lash 

And waited for the rains 

I'm a settler 

I'm a farmers wife 

On a dry and barren run 

A convict and a free man 

I became Australian

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

I'm a daughter of a digger 

Who sought the mother load 

The girl became a women 

On the long and dusty road 

I'm a child of the depression 

I saw the good time 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 drowned 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
