Lyrics

When I was just a young man
 I felt a calling deep inside
Telling me there’s more than this 
just pack your bags and ride
The day came that I gave in 
and I spread my wings to fly
going halfway ‘round the world
And I made my mother cry

Chorus:
-----------
But when your heart beats for the red dust and for the oceans that never end
The endless space and open roads and the power of this land
This is Australia Australia
Your beauty and your mystery and the sunsets for all to see
Australia Australia
The green and gold, it’s history there is no place I’d rather be

As I grow old and I look back
on the many years gone by
The faces of my children 
questioning me why
The day came that I gave in 
why I spread my wings to fly
Going halfway ‘round the world 
and why I made my mother cry
Chorus x2
