  • 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!

    chorus
    In a sunburned country
    her magic and her mystery
    In a sunburned country
    Forever will be home to me
    That is 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

    chorus

    We've always been humble
    Too scared to be proud
    I think it's time that,
    We all stand up and say
    "WE LOVE OUR HOME" out loud!

    Chorus

    I love all the people
    I love all the sounds
    Sleeping under a tin roof
    With a hard rain coming down
