Version 1 of the lyrics

  'Cause We are one but we are many  'Cause We are one but we are many
  And from all the lands on earth we come,  And from all the lands on earth we come,
  we share a dream,  we share a dream,
  And sing with one voice,  And sing with one voice,
  I am, you are, we are Australian.  I am, you are, we are Australian.
      
  I came from the dream time, from the dusty red soil plains,  I came from the dream time, from the dusty red soil plains,
  I am the ancient heart - the keeper of the flame,  I am the ancient heart - the keeper of the flame,
  I stood upon the rocky shore, I watched the tall ships come,  I stood upon the rocky shore, I watched the tall ships come,
  For forty thousand years I'd been the first Australian.  For forty thousand years I'd been the first Australian.
      
  I came upon the prison ship bound down by iron chains  I came upon the prison ship bound down by iron chains
  I cleared the land, endured the lash and waited for the rains.  I cleared the land, endured the lash and waited for the rains.
  I'm a settler, I'm a farmer's wife on a dry and barren run  I'm a settler, I'm a farmer's wife on a dry and barren run
  A convict then a free man, I became Australian.  A convict then a free man, I became Australian.
      
1  I'm the daughter of a digger who saw the mother lode   I'm the daughter of a digger who sought the mother lode 1
  The girl became a woman on the long and dusty road  The girl became a woman on the long and dusty road
  I'm a child of the depression but I saw the good times come  I'm a child of the depression but I saw the good times come
  I'm a bushy, I'm a battler, I am Australian.  I'm a bushy, I'm a battler, I am Australian.
      
  'Cause We are one but we are many  'Cause We are one but we are many
  And from all the lands on earth we come,  And from all the lands on earth we come,
  we share a dream,  we share a dream,
  And sing with one voice,  And sing with one voice,
  I am, you are, we are Australian.  I am, you are, we are Australian.
      
  I'm a teller of stories, I'm a singer of songs  I'm a teller of stories, I'm a singer of songs
  I am Albert Namatjira, and I paint the ghostly gums  I am Albert Namatjira, and I paint the ghostly gums
  I am Clancy on his horse, I'm Ned Kelly on the run  I am Clancy on his horse, I'm Ned Kelly on the run
  I'm the one who waltzed Matilda, I am Australian.  I'm the one who waltzed Matilda, I am Australian.
      
  I'm the hot wind from the desert, I'm  I'm the hot wind from the desert, I'm
  the black soil of the plains  the black soil of the plains
  I'm the mountains and the valleys, I'm  I'm the mountains and the valleys, I'm
  the drought and flooding rains  the drought and flooding rains
  I am the rock and I'm the sky, the rivers when they run  I am the rock and I'm the sky, the rivers when they run
  The spirit of this great land, I am Australian.  The spirit of this great land, I am Australian.
      
  'Cause We are one but we are many  'Cause We are one but we are many
  And from all the lands on earth we come,  And from all the lands on earth we come,
  we share a dream,  we share a dream,
  And sing with one voice,  And sing with one voice,
  I am, you are, we are Australian.  I am, you are, we are Australian.
