i'm australian - dougald hendrick lyrics

[verse 1]
a sunny sky, an old gumtree
a chirping bird, a drinking spree
a cheery smile or wary glance
haybales at an old bush dance
a welcome mat, with firm handshake — the hills hoist, or a garden rake
the footy team we love or hate — is it afl or rugby mate?

[chorus]
these simple things we see each day — and all the things we’ve done
make me proud, reminding me — i am australian
they make me proud, reminding me — i am australian

[verse 2]
a big broad grin, your wrinkled hand — the farmer on his patch of land
a scorching sun, high country storms — akurba hat and boots well worn
a kangaroo, a kelpie dog — a dingo on a hollow log
the harbour bridge, or tiny creek — opеra house, a long white beach

[chorus]
thеse simple things we see each day — and all the things we’ve done
make me proud, reminding me — i am australian
they make me proud, reminding me — i am australian

[verse 3]
sunday church bells, oceans roar — silent deserts, water bores
wagtails dance, the magpies song — kookaburra’s laugh at dawn
b*ttered scones and vegemite — billy tea by campfire light
a sausage in a slice of bread — the bbq besides the shed
[chorus]
these simple things we see each day — and all the things we’ve done
make me proud, reminding me — i am australian
they make me proud, reminding me — i am australian

[bridge]
sandstone soldier bows his head, — in a forgotten township up ahead
what does this mean to you and me — his silent voice says you are free
the dusty track that brought us here — the lives we live today
we owe so much to long dead men — who battled all the way
to see a tear fall silently, in that old anzac’s eye — remembering his fallen mates, and you wonder why i cry?

[chorus]
the simple things were given to us — remember they’ve done
make me proud, reminding me — i am australian
the simple things were given to us — remember they’ve done
make them proud, remind yourself — you are australian
yeah make them proud, remind yourself — you are australian
yeah make them proud, remind yourself — we are australians

[outro]
and of these simple gifts, the greatest gift is our freedom
let’s not waste it
