Key of 4/4 I came from the dream-time, from the dusty red soil plains.I_ am the an-cient heart,_the keep-er of the flame.

I clear- ed the land, endured the lash,and wait-ed for the rains. I'm a settler, I'm a farmer's wife, on a dry and barren run, convict and a free man, I be- came Aus-tra-li-- an. We are one but we are man-y and from all the lands on Earth we come. We share a dream and sing with one voice, I am___ you are we are Aus-tra-li-an.
