My Australia

I come from the land they call “Down Under” Because we are found near the bottom of the Earth.
But who says the world begins above us?

Who cares?

Well I care, mate, us Australian’s care
For this nation, we shed our tears,
For this nation many lives were given,
For this nation we wear our colours proud
And for this nation we sing our songs loud.

For I am an Aussie
