Lyrics
[Intro]
Under southern skies, where the eucalyptus grow,
From golden beaches to the desert's glow.
[Verse 1]
Land of Oz, where kangaroos leap,
Across the plains and the Outback deep.
From Sydney’s sails on the harbor bright,
To Uluru's sacred sight, glowing in the light.
[Pre-Chorus]
Echoes of didgeridoo, a timeless call,
Stories woven through the land of sunburnt hall.
[Chorus]
Australia, wide and free,
From the Great Barrier Reef to the endless sea.
Where the red earth sings and the bushland sways,
In the land Down Under, every heart stays.
[Verse 2]
Where cultures blend under the Southern Cross,
Ancient Dreamtime tales never lost.
Home to koalas, wombats, and endless grin,
With pavlova sweet and seafood fresh within.
[Chorus]
Australia, wide and free,
From the Great Barrier Reef to the endless sea.
Where the red earth sings and the bushland sways,
In the land Down Under, every heart stays.
[Bridge]
Melbourne's arts and sporting craze,
The outback nights splashed with starlit haze.
From Anzac spirit, courage born,
To modern cities waking in the dawn.
[Final Chorus]
Australia, vast and grand,
From Perth's sands to Tasmania's hand.
Where the red earth sings and the bushland sways,
In the land Down Under, every heart stays.
[Outro]
Hear the magpies call, in morn's embrace,
Australia's song, a wondrous place.
