Happy Australia Day !!!!!!!!!


Aussie Aussie Aussie OI OI OI!!!!!!!

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.

Being Australian means so many things so many people At the end of the day I am so deeply Happy and proud to be australian. Australia has so much to be proud for we are growing up and continue to change but we all hold onto the great gift it is to be australian we may have come from many countrys but we have one dream to live together as one. As a country born from chains as convicts we welcome with open arms people from all over the world we offer a fresh start a new life!!!!

Many thinks that THEIR country is the best. But all of them have a lot of growing up to do.

Ah, the beach, maybe I'll drive down to the spit for a while today. Look for boobs. LOL
