I wanna live, I wanna die under the light of the great Southern sky I wanna run, straight through the night, chasing the stars with a heart open wide. under a great Southern sky There's a song you can hear it playing in a country town The anthem of the young and free that's what I'm talking bout Like flooding rains and overflows, desert plains and red dugouts Walk abouts that take me home, a place that everybody knows In the state I'm in is on my mind In the place I live I'm so alive Tonight I wanna live, I wanna die under the light of the great Southern sky High on a plain, in thunder and rain I wanna live, I wanna die under the light of the big Southern sky There's a spirit, can you feel it going in this country wide? From the burning sun in Arnhem land across the great divide Children singing out aloud: we are one and we are proud The future's starting here and now, sing it all together now In the place I live I'm so alive Tonight I wanna live, I wanna die under the light of the great Southern sky High on a plain, in thunder and rain I wanna live, I wanna die under the light of the big Southern sky I wanna live, I wanna die under the light of the great Southern sky I wanna run, straight through the night, chasing the stars with a heart open wide High on a plain, in thunder and rain I wanna live, I wanna die under the light of the big Southern sky Under the light of the big Southern sky
