This continent's an icon
A spectacle to be seen
The most incredible terrain
Sacred geometry
From the Tarkine to the Kimberley
Kakadu to the Reef
Rugged and abundant
Fragile ecology
Rich soils that feed the food bowls
On our Great Artesian Basin
To our water wells and riverbeds
Flowing through expansive spaces
From the stations in the outback
To our surf towns on the sand
It's a magic and exquisite home
Of a once Van Diemen's Land
The luck we got to call this place our own
Australia yeah this is our identity
It's more than just the people
It's the places we need
It's the past gift
To our future sons
And some things that happen
Cannot be undone
The majestic orange desert
Forlorn to nature's graces
From the heights of Kosciusko
I see a nation of all races
Our strong Indigenous people
Driven to despair
The Stolen Generations
In the aim of gentrification
The Murray Darling Basin
Sunken to it's knees
Do you wish to sit idle quietly
As they dredge the Barrier Reef
This land is ours together
Not yours more than it's mine
So shout out loud and band together
If you want it to survive
If you want the reef alive
Australia yeah this is our identity
It's more than just the people
It's the places we need
It's the past gift
To our future sons
And some things that happen
Cannot be undone
Some things that happen
Cannot be undone
Australia yes this is our identity
Australia yes this is our identity
Australia yes this is our identity
Australia yes this is our identity
Australia yes this is our identity
It's more than just the people
It's the places we need
It's the past gift
To our future sons
Some things that happen
Cannot be undone
Australia yes this is our identity
It's more than just the people
It's the places we need
It's the past gift
To our future sons
Some things that happen
Cannot be undone
Some things that happen
Cannot be undone
