All Nighter

I came from the dream-time, from the dusty red soil plains

I am the ancient heart, the keeper of the flame.

I stood upon the rocky shore, I watched the tall ships come.

For forty thousand years I've been the first Australian.

We are one, but we are many

And from all the lands on earth we come

We share a dream and sing with one voice:

I am, you are, we are Australian

I came upon the prison ship, bowed down by iron chains.

I cleared 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

A convict then a free man, I became Australian.

We are one, but we are many

And from all the lands on earth we come

We share a dream and sing with one voice:

I am, you are, we are Australian

I'm the daughter of a digger who sought the mother lode

The girl became a woman on the long and dusty road

I'm a child of the depression, I saw the good times 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 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, I paint the ghostly gums

I am Clancy on his horse, I'm Ned Kelly on the run

I'm the one who waltzed Matilda, I am Australian

We are one, but we are many

And from all the lands on earth we come

We share a dream and sing with one voice:

I am, you are, we are Australian

There are no words of comfort that can hope to ease the pain

Of losing homes and loved ones the memories will remain

Within the silent tears you’ll find the strength to carry on

You’re not alone, we are with you. We are Australian!

We are one, but we are many

And from all the lands on earth we come

We share a dream and sing with one voice:

I am, you are, we are Australian

There are so many heroes whose stories must be told

They fought the raging fires of hell and saved so many souls

From the ashes of despair our towns will rise again!

We mourn your loss, we will rebuild. We are Australian!

We are one, but we are many

And from all the lands on earth we come

We share a dream and sing with one voice:

I am, you are, we are 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 share a dream and sing with one voice:

I am, you are, we are Australian

I am, you are, we are Australian!

We are one ….. We are many ….. We are Australian!

You should post that in the New chants thread, I can definitely see it catching on, just change Australia for Leicester.

A wonderful song, sad that so few seem to live (or even agree with) its content.

Anyone still up? Just finishing my bottle of 2005 Monastrell and listening to ****ed Up. Day off tomorrow and the day after that :D

EDIT: though definitely not staying up all night I'm afraid to say...

I'm just looking for things to keep me occuypied through out the day.

It must be tricky using FT to eat up your spare time (what?! that's what I do!!) when most people are posting during your sleeping hours no?
