sunburned country

i carry her with me

i carry her pride

whenever i speak her name

my soul it comes alive

she taught me to be strong

she taught me to fight

and i am who i am today

because she raised me right

in a sunburned country

her magic and her mystery

in a sunburned country

forever will be home to me

oh that's where my heart is truly free

the creeks and the rivers

the dust and the mud

all of us understand

this land gets in your blood

the sight of the blue gums

and black cockatoos

white snow kosciusko

red rock uluru

we've always been humble

too scared to be proud

i think its time that

we all stand and say

we love our home out loud

i love all the people

i love all the sounds

sleeping under a tin roof

with a hard rain coming down
