[Verse 1] Red earth warms beneath my feet A gum tree leans beside the creek Old stories travel through the dust And every name is carried with us [Verse 2] From ships that crossed the southern sea To farms that fought the summer heat Through copper hills and wheat-field gold New hands arrived, new tales were told [Pre-Chorus] Different roads beneath one sun Many lives, but not alone [Chorus] We stand together, side by side From every shore, from every tide One wide horizon, open and true I find this country in me and you Raise every voice, let kindness start A shared tomorrow, a generous heart [Verse 3] A painter catches evening blue A rider follows tracks he knew A child still hears the old bush tune While city windows mirror the moon [Bridge] Through dry years and the sudden rain Through loss and hope, through joy and pain The land remembers, people change Yet love can cross the widest range [Final Chorus] We stand together, side by side From every shore, from every tide One wide horizon, open and true I find this country in me and you Raise every voice, let kindness start A shared tomorrow, a generous heart [Outro] Many journeys, one bright flame Many voices, one refrain Here we are, and here we’ll stay Building tomorrow day by day
