Verse 1
It’ll be all right but not today
We’ve got cities under water from the rain
And the harvest in the ground and houses and towns and the he sheep in the fields are washed away
There is water like a wall in hills where it shouldn’t be at all
And we’re confounded and confused when we hear this on the news and we hope and pray the rising tide will fall

Chorus
This is Australia this is my home
We come together in the hard times we will never stand alone
And in Australia we stick by our mates
This is Australia this is the Australian Way

Verse 2
I hear stories that in the waters swells there were heroes born and heroes died as well
Lives were lost to save another sister child wife or brother
Heaven came into the raging water’s hell
So I remember them by name Jordon Rice and the sacrifice he made
Sandra Matthews and Josh Ross how they paid the highest cost
They won’t be forgotten and we won’t ever be the same

Chorus

Verse 3
And I love this country this land of sweeping plains
A place of change where nothing ever stays the same
And no matter where I roam Australia is my home
And I wouldn’t have it any other way

For her beauty, is profound, but in its people where true gold is found
‘Cause when the chips are down we gather strength we gather round
So I stand tall I am Australia and I am proud

Chorus x 2
