We’re together on Australia day, united by a bond
That takes us to our place of pride and then a bit beyond
It takes us to beginnings, where founders came to start
To realize then, the legacy, by which we play our part

We’re united by a Spirit, that lives the Aussie way
That takes hold of adversity and gets on with the day
Here sharing time on land diverse, by shores that harbor peace
Within a place of g’day mate, where friendships coexist

We share a common feeling that things will be OK
While being helped by others who divide the load each day
And though we have the option, we choose to be a part
Of this one mighty nation that our founders came to start

The Land Down Under some may say; but what a place to be
Miles away from trouble and well guarded by the sea
Where we can breathe the clean air, enjoy the water clear
Where we can plan a future that will still be there next year

Today we thank our Country and the founders that did see
This land of opportunity, where we are all so free
Where each day I feel lucky to have the choice in day
To do the things I’d like to try, to have my voice and say

So all look at your family and all the things you’ve got
You’ll find you have a treasure trove and really quite a lot
Then celebrate the years of past and this the Aussie way
Enjoy some time with all ya mates, on this Australia Day
