I Am Australia Lyrics - 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 fourty 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 barron run 

A convict and a free man 

I became Australian

Ariana Grande Adds Her Own Verse To "Last Christmas" 

Im a daughter of a digger 

Who sought the mother load 

The girl became a women 

On the long and dusty road 

Im a child of the depression 

I saw the good time come 

Im a bushy im a battler 

I am australian 

Chourus: 

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

Im a teller of stories 

Im a singer of songs 

i am Albert namajera 

and i paint the ghostly gums 

im clancy on his horse 

Im ned kelly on the run 

Im the one who waltzed matilda 

i am australian 

im the hot wind from the desert 

im the black soil of the plain 

im the mountains and the valleys 

im 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
