FONT: Constantine

I came from the dreamtime
From the dusty red soil plains
I am the ancient heart
The keeper of the flames
I Stood upon the rocky shore
I watched the tall ships come
For forty thousand years I've been the first Australian

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 farmers wife
On a dry and barren run
A convict and a free man
I became Australian

I'm a daughter of a digger
Who sought the mother load
The girl became a woman
On the long and dusty road
I'm a child of the depression
I saw the good time come
I'm a bushy I'm a battler
I am Australian

We are one
But we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We'll share a dream
And sing with one voice
I am, you are, we are Australian

I'm a teller of stories
I'm a singer of songs
I am Albert Namatjira
And I paint the ghostly gums
I'm 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

We are one
But we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We'll share a dream
And sing with one voice
I am, you are, we are Australian

We are one
But we are many
And from all the lands on earth we come
We'll share a dream
And sing with one voice
I am, you are, we are Australian

Can this be our national anthem. If you are Aussie and are listening in 2024 you are a true-blue person/ Aussie Australian.

I am an immigrant, I was born in Switzerland. I have now lived in Australia for 35 years, I love this place with all my heart. This song makes me cry, every time, it should be our national anthem, for sure. from all the lands on Earth we come, but we are one.

[keishadoyle]

I'm an aboriginal Australian and I also strongly believe this should be our anthem

[yichengliu]

I’m Chinese-Australian, and I’m proud to call this land my home!

[wehtam]

I caught a taxi, my driver was a Sheik. He'd been here for 40 years, he still wore his turban and beard but I never met a more patriotic Aussie. That's what makes us great.

[dizzy]

I'm a Vietnamese immigrant but proudly to call this my home

[lolimpoorhaha]

Whenever I hear this song, tears roll down my face. Be proud of an Australian ❤

[dadshoe]

I’m not Australian, but this should be the national anthem. I can tell why this makes Australians have so much pride.

[johnwildman]

Judiths voice is so powerful. I'm not an Aussie, but this always makes me tear up.

[mt.g]

I am Ethiopian Australian love this song i am really very pround being Australian 🙏

[kelliecanscan]

It’s Anzac Day. And I can’t stop crying. They sacrificed so much for our peace ❤
I love our country, I love all those who come to stay, I love those who were here for thousands of years before us and are this countries spiritual wise men and women, I love those who we call brothers and sisters, all who wish to be Australian, because it’s not a race or a culture that makes you Aussie, it’s the fact we are all from different places, different colours and cultures- and we all have a story, but we beat with the same heart and this great land just does something to you, it’s great spirit fills you with peace ❤

Listening to this beautiful song in my home country of America 🇺🇸

God Bless Australia and it’s people 🇦🇺

[kennethjacobus]

I am retired military, from the United States. The Australians have always been our allies, and I will forever thank you for it.

[chuckclark]

From America, and from one who has never been to Australia, the song stirs the blood. It would be a great anthem.

[truonghongtrieu]

This song should be Australia's national anthem. I can't hold my tears listening to the song and looking back the 7 years I spent seeking to become an Australian, and I am now. I love this beautiful country and its people!

[skad]

I'm Nepalese Australian and it gives me chills everytime I listen to this. Proud to be Australian.

-*R.I.P Judith Durham*, who passed away last night 6th August 2022. Of The Seekers, Judith was the female voice. I hope now ALL Australians will now push to get their song as our anthem. We've changed it once 4 decades ago before this correct and short song - Why not now?

[pngkange]

I am a Papua New Guinean 🇵🇬 but I loved to listen to this song comes from my mother Country- Australia 🇦🇺 ❤ "Respect"

[miceppe]

As Indonesian, I really love so much Australia as our neighbor country, how beautiful this song 🇦🇺

[thisisbillgates]

As an indigenous Australian, I'd be happy to have this as our anthem. Anythings better than our current one
