I Am Australian Seekers
#Verse 1:
I [C]came from the dream time, from the [F]dusty red soil [C]plains,
[Am]I am the ancient heart - the [F]keeper [G]of the [C]flame,
I stood upon the rocky shore; I [F]watched the [G]tall ships [Am]come,
For [C]forty thousand years I'd been, the [F]first [G]Australia[C]n.
Chorus:
W[C]e are one,
but we are [F]man[C]y,
And from [Am]all the [F]lands on [G]earth we [C]come,
we share a dream,
And sing with [F]one [C]voice,
[Am]I a[G]m, [Em]you [D]are, we [C]are Aus[G]trali[C]an.
Verse 2:
I came upon the prison ship bound 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.
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
Verse 3:
I'm a teller of stories; I'm a singer of songs,
I am Albert Namatjira, and 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.
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
