I came from the dreamtime, From the dusty red-soil plains
Am F G C
I am the ancient heart, the keeper of the flame

I stood upon the rocky shores, I watched the tall ships come
C F G C
For forty thousand years I've been, The first Australian

I came upon the prison ship, Bowed down by iron chains
Am F G C
I fought 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,
C F G C
A convict, then a free man, I became Australian

I'm the daughter of a digger, Who sought the mother lode.
Am F G C
The girl became a woman, On the long and dusty road.

I'm a child of the Depression, I saw the good times come,

C F G C
The spirit of this great land, I am Australian.
