Lyrics
My whole family immigrants
In the land down under we became citizens
I grew a love for land that i been living in
The most cherished memories when I reminisce
But being the foreigner that I am
I keep on trying even more to understand
The stories the origins of this land
Pay my respects just cause it's who I am
How can I ignore the history behind it
You must know the desire in me to find it
Let me show you now just how deep my pride is
I'm Australian brother I told you it proudly
I hold the same pride for every culture around me
Acknowledge the nation, people was givin this land
Aboriginal, Torres Strait, our Indigenous fam
Today I celebrate you! Will never switch on my stance
Shake a leg breaking bread then let's mix up the plan
A moment of silence
A whole lot of devestation
We can't forget about the stolen generations, like
It was like they never even mattered
All their people battered, cant even fathom really how deep it's tragic
Tell me how much would this be traumatic?
Have your dreams shattered
And if say all of your families were scattered
That's what actually happened to the aboriginals
The connection that they have this land it is spiritual
So today is day I will commemorate in
Because this is the land that you and I were raised in
My whole family immigrants
In the land down under we became citizens
I grew a love for land that i been living in
The most cherished memories when I reminisce
How can I ignore the history behind it
You must know the desire in me to find it
Let me show you now just how deep my pride is
It's deeper then coral reefs
Taller than mawson peak
Must be the fob in me
Thank god my father he
He brought us all to eat
He work the day n night
He brought us over here
And its a and its a party
Crack a 6 pack
Put some snags on the barbie
Bender on my mind where my phone
Gotta call in
Had to tell the boss man
Aussie aussie aussie
Come get on the piss
Bob marley dont worry
Got my trusty spray just incase of the mozzies
Out on straya day ima play savage garden
Hit the bottle - o and pick up another bottle yeah
And then pick up another
Another one we kicking on and on
Straya day come and gone
Still we gonna run it up
Till we run out of love
And the booze and the buzz
Then we carry on
And then we carry on
My whole family immigrants
In the land down under we became citizens
I grew a love for land that i been living in
The most cherished memories when I reminisce
How can I ignore the history behind it
You must know the desire in me to find it
Let me show you now just how deep my pride is
The most cherished memories when I reminisce
