gotye, monty cotton & the basics – i am australian (live at the songroom) lyrics
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 shores
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 bought 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 bushie, 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 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 became 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 am, you are, we are australian”
“i am, you are, we are australian”
