I Am Australian (live) Lyrics - Seekers

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've been the first Australian. 

I came upon the prison ship, bowed 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 the 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 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, I paint the ghostly gums 

I am 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 plains 

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 share a dream and sing with one voice: 

I am, you are, we are Australian
