OUR SOUTHERN LAND

 

(Instrumental intro)

 

We live …

In this great Southern Land

Around the world we came

 

Over three hundred years or more

We sailed to this distant shore

To a land

Occupied since ten thousand years before

They say it was more ….

 

Together, they all paved the way

To where we are today

In this land of opportunity

A multicultural society

Of every coloured face

From every creed and different race

Who call Australia home

Our home.

 

(instrumental interlude)

 

At first, against their will in chains

Or escaping hunger pains

And they all now live as one

Under the Southern Sun

And behind the Southern Cross

For which they fought at such a loss

And so it was all done

For our freedom won

Building a better home

Not count the cost

For the old one they had lost

So it is our legacy

To watch our children grow

In prosperity.

 

Southern Land

This Great Southern Land

Our home in the Sun.
