I AM AN AUSTRALIAN
I am an Australian
And so I’m proud to say
I live upon this great land
So I am grateful every day
With its endless horizons
And mountain ranges long
Australia’s radiance calls out
Like the most beautiful song
A smile spreads across my lips
As I gaze out at this land
Australia really is unique
With its gum tress and dusty red sand
As I look out at this country
I’m overwhelmed with glee
Because I am an Australian
And I am so proud to be
