I carry her with me   I carry her pride   Whenever I speak her name   My soul it comes alive      She taught me to be strong   She taught me to fight   And I am who I am today   Because she raised me right      In a sunburned country   Her magic and her mystery   In a sunburned country   Forever will be home to me   Oh, that's where my heart is truly free      The creeks and the rivers   The dust and the mud   All of us understand   This land gets in your blood      The sight of the blue gums   And black cockatoos   White snow Kosciusko   Red rock Uluru      In a sunburned country   Her magic and her mystery   In a sunburned country   Forever will be home to me   Oh, that's where my heart is truly free      We've always been humble   Too scared to be proud   I think its time that we all stand and say   We love our home out loud      In a sunburned country   Her magic and her mystery   In a sunburned country   Forever will be home to me   Oh, that's where my heart is truly free      I love all the people   I love all the sounds   Sleeping under a tin roof   With a hard rain coming down
