[Br.IanVonTurpie]

I am ..you are.. we are Australian

The first part is the actual lyrics.

   
• I came from the dreamtime 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'd been the first Australian.

[2]

   
• I came upon the prison ship bowed 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.

[3]

   
• 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

[chorus]

   
• 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 am, you are, we are Australian.

[4]

   
• 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

[5]

   
• 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

[chorus]

   
• 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 am, you are, we are Australian.

And now the 2013 revised lyrics.....................

   
• I came from overseas from the Black oil plains
  I am not of Aussie heart, the keeper of your flame
  I made it to your shore
  I urged more ships come
  For forty thousand years no'one was Australian.

[2]

   
• I came upon the leaky ship bowed down by fishing nets.
  I cleared the seas, of all your the fish and from the sharks their fins.
  I'm a criminal.
  I'm a thief with a gun
  After being convicted then a free man I became Australian.

[3]

   
• I'm the daughter of a whigger who sold her frontal lobe

   
• The girl became a woman on all the rap albums sold
  I'm now a child in depression
  I saw the good times sold

   
• I'm a ******, no, i'm whigger
  I am Australian

[chorus]

   
• We were one, but now are many
  And from all the lands on earth we come
  We had a dream it was sold by one voice:
  Anyone, everyone can be Australian,
  That's right,
• you have been sold out if you are Australian.
  
  [4]

   
• I tell tall stories
  I get you to sing my songs
  I am not going to fit in with ya.

   
• I chop down your ghostly gums
  I need your money ofcourse
  I'm then off on the run
  I'm also going to waltz Matilda
  I am not Australian

[5]

   
• I'm like hot wind from last nights desert
  I'm the black soil of the your pants
• I will buy your mountains and the valleys
  I will leave if there is drought and flooding rains
  I work like a rock, my head in the sky
  Ruin it for everyoneThe spirit of this great land
  I am not Australian

[chorus]

   
• We were one, but now are many
  And from all the lands on earth we come
  We had a dream it was sold with one voice:
  Anyone, everone can be Australian,
• That's right, you have been sold out if you are Australian.
