Spirit of the Land
Words and Music by John C Munro

I am the spirit of the great Southern Land
I soar on mighty wings
I have seen the rocks and rivers form since time itself began
I know of many things

Chorus
I am Uluru
(I am the breath that lingers in the earth and fire)
I am Blackspur
(I am the music of the bellbird and the lyre)
I am Kakadu
(I am the whispering in the gorge and the samphire)

I was already here to see the Koori people come
Their wisdom fed my soul
The believers at Eureka and again at Anzac Cove
They died to make me whole

Chorus

I have taken to my bosom those of every distant race
They have enriched my heart
I will live in you forever as in the world you take your place
And you will play your part

Chorus
