John Denver

I come to Australia as many people do
To see the old Koala, hitch a ride on a kanga
roo
To hear some body call me mate, and call some
body blue
To hear an abo rigine play a diggerid do
Some of you came as prisoners, two centu ries
ago
Some of you came as Kings and Queens, your blessings
to be stow
Some of you stand all swelled with pride
Some with shattered wings
But all of us come with open hearts to hear Aus
tralia sing
In the desert, in the city
In the mountains and in the sea
In the stories and in the people
I can hear Aus tralia sing
Waltzing Ma tilda, the men of Galli poli
Clancy of the overflow and Crocodile Dun dee
The myth of all creation, the teaching of
Baia me
The legends of the dreamtime, for all eter nity
And in this cele bration, a brief two hundred
years
The cost to build a nation, in blood and sweat and
tears
And if we stand divided, divided we will
fall
But if we stand to gether we shall conquer all
In the desert, in the city
In the mountains and in the sea
In the stories and in the people
I can hear Aus tralia sing
Sing Aus tralia, sing Aus tralia,
Sing Aus stralia, sing Aus stralia
In the sails on Sydney Harbor
I can hear Australia sing
Enjoy all.
