00:00I came from the dreamtime, from the dusty red salt flames
00:05I am the ancient part, the keeper of the flames
00:11I stood upon the rocky shore, I watched the tall ships come
00:17For forty thousand years I've been the first Australian
00:25I came upon the prison ships, bowed down by iron chains
00:31I cleaned the land, endured the flesh, and waited for the brains
00:37I'm a settler, I'm a farmer's wife, on a joy and maroon front
00:43A convict, and a free man, I am Australian
