I stood on foreign sands, fought for our land
From Gallipoli to Afghanistan, I took a stand
For freedom, for home, for the Aussie way
Now I’m back, and I’ll say
Welcome to my country, where the kangaroo roams
Welcome to my homeland, where the Aboriginals call home
From the Outback to the cities, we’ll treat you right
Welcome to Australia, mate, day and night
My ancestors came here, as convicts and free
Built a nation, strong and carefree
We’ve got our flaws, but our hearts are true
We’ll share our land, with me and you
Welcome to my country, where the kangaroo roams
Welcome to my homeland, where the Aboriginals call home
From the Outback to the cities, we’ll treat you right
Welcome to Australia, mate, day and night
From the Dreamtime to the present day
We’ve got a story, to share in every way
Respect our land, our people, and our past
We’ll welcome you, and make this place last
Welcome to my country, where the kangaroo roams
Welcome to my homeland, where the Aboriginals call home
From the Outback to the cities, we’ll treat you right
Welcome to Australia, mate, day and night
So come on down, and take a stand
With open arms, in this lucky land
We’ll share our culture, our food, and our cheer
Welcome to Australia, mate, you’re welcome here.
