thirsty merc - i am australian (solo performance by rai thistlethwayte) lyrics

Loading...

’cause 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 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 sh-r-, i watched the tall ships come,
for forty thousand years i’d been the first australian.

i came upon the prison ship bound down by iron chains
i cleared 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 but i saw the good times come
i’m a bushy, i’m a battler, i am australian.

’cause 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, and 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 and i’m the sky, the rivers when they run
the spirit of this great land, i am australian.

’cause 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.
