[VERSE 1]
As a young girl I came here by the sea
To a new home for my family
It welcomed us with open arms
A chance to live my dream
And there's no place that I'd rather be
Yes, it's always Australia for me

As the years went on, I moved far away
And I always said I'd come back some day
I think about it all the time
My friends all here me say
That there's no place that I'd rather be
Yes, it's always Australia for me

[Chorus]
Live, love, knowing that we're all free
Know that we are blessed in our country
And realize how lucky we are
Safe beneath our southern star
And there's no place that I'd rather be
Yes, it's always Australia for me

[Chorus]
Live, love, knowing that we're all free
Know that we are blessed in our country
And realize how lucky we are
Safe beneath our southern star
And there's no place in the world I'd rather be
Happy birthday to Aussie from me
