I Am Ameralian…
We came from Ameralia, from the dusty red dry sands I am the ancient voice, the keeper of the land I stood upon Charbourne Island I watched the tall ships come For two terms in school we’ve been the first Ameralians I came from Brunswick East from North Carolina too I am the grizzly bear also the kangaroo I am the black, I am the white the lands from which I come A child of the millennium, I’m Ameralian Chorus: We are one but we are many And from both the lands on Earth we come We like to sing with many voices I am, you are, we’re Ameralian I am an Aboriginal - a native American too Set around a camp fire i play the didgery doo I’m a native American costume, stick the feathers on with glue I’m a bushy, I’m an outlaw I am a convict too I am a bush ranger - holding out my guns i am Albert Namajura and I paint the ghostly gums I am Poccahontas with black and wild hair I am Whistler’s mother in her rocking chair Chorus: We are one but we are many And from both the lands on earth we come We like to sing with many voices I am, you are, we’re Ameralian I’m singer of protest, I love my freedom too I have my own opinion, I’m free to share with you I have a voice, I know my land, to my house you’re free to come I welcome you with open arms, I’m Ameralian We say g’day and howdy, I totally agree We’re mates and we are awesome and we sing along with glee We know when we’re fairdinkum, but can also disagree We’re the future of our country – now come and sing with me Chorus: We are one but we are many And from both the lands on earth we come We like to sing with many voices I am, you are, we’re Ameralian
