lyrics

All the things I don’t got live in some faraway place;
things like truth in God and someday soon your heart.
And all the chances that I thought were living in front of my face
were never mine, ‘cause now it seems that from the start they were living in

Australia, Australia
If only I could try for you to be as true as
Australia, Australia,
I hope you find the kind of thing to make you sing in Australia.

There’s a sun always shining down upon the sand,
and in the desert brush it's burning with the spirit.
Off in Sydney there’s a ship to take your hand,
hopefully I’ll be there someday, I’d like to hear it in

Australia, Australia
If only I could try for you to be as true as
Australia, Australia,
I hope you find the kind of thing to make you sing in Australia
