00:13Red dust rising on a lonely road
00:17Morning sun on the plains of gold
00:22A thousand miles of open sky
00:28Where the wedgetails fly so high
00:35Downs already out with the sheep
00:41Mom's working yards in the heat
00:45And I settle dreams before the day
00:50On a land that stretches far away
00:54But when the screen begins to glow
01:00Voices travel winds, I know
01:05This is the biggest classroom in the world
01:11Across the plains our flags are unfurled
01:16From desert tracks to the ocean air
01:21We're learning life from everywhere
01:24Though the miles may keep us far apart
01:28We're side by side in mind and heart
01:32Through every voice that calls my name
01:36The biggest classroom is the same
01:45Helicopters lifting sheep
01:48Dusty hearts and wolves so deep
01:50Boots and fences, gates and rain
01:53Like it's written on the plain
01:55But somewhere far across the land
01:58Another kid lifts up a hand
02:01From cattle stations, desert towns
02:03We're all together, though spread around
02:06Different skies but one bright call
02:08A teacher's voice that reaches all
02:13This is the biggest classroom in the world
02:18Across the plains our flags are unfurled
02:23From desert tracks to the ocean air
02:28We're learning life from everywhere
02:30Though the miles may keep us far apart
02:34We're side by side in mind and heart
02:39Through every voice that calls my name
02:44The biggest classroom is the same
02:50500 miles to the nearest gate
02:55But friends can live in every state
03:00From red earth hills to tropical rain
03:06Our voices meet across the plain
03:10We might be small beneath this sky
03:16But dreams can travel far and high
03:22This is the biggest classroom in the world
03:27Across the plains our classroom and furl
03:32From homestead lights to learning hubs
03:37We're children of the southern sun
03:40Though the miles may keep us far apart
03:44We're side by side in mind and heart
03:48Together strong though far we roam
03:52This classroom makes the whole land home
04:05Death towns are of light
04:06A dust road and endless sky
04:09Where voices meet though miles fly by
04:15In the land where the white wind's run
04:20Home, the biggest classroom feels like home
