Sing Australia Lyrics

I come to Australia as many people doTo see the old koala, hitch a ride on a kangarooTo hear somebody call me mateAnd call somebody blueTo hear an aborigine play a digereedooSome of you came as prisoners two centuries agoSome of you come as kings and queens, your blessing to bestowSome of you stand all swelled with pride,Some with shattered wingsBut all of us come with open hearts to hear Australia sing.In the deserts, in the cities, in the mountains, and in the seaIn the stories, and in the peopleI can hear Australia singVerses 3 & 4:Waltzing Matilda, the men of GalipoliClancy of the over flow, Crocodile DundeeThe myth of all creation, the teaching of BaiameThe legends of the dream time for all eternityIn this celebration of a brief two hundred yearsThe cost to build a nation in blood and sweat and tearsAnd if we stand divided, divided we will fallBut if we stand together, we shall conquer allRepeat ChorusSing Australia, Sing Australia, Sing Australia, Sing AustraliaIn the sails of Sydney HarborI can hear Australia sing
