I Still Call Australia Home

I've been to cities that never close down,
from New York to Rio and old London town,
but no matter how far or how wide I roam,
I still call Australia home.

I'm always travelling, I love being free,
and so I keep leaving the sun and the sea,
but my heart lies waiting over the foam,
I still call Australia home.

All the sons and daughters spinning 'round the world,
away from their family and friends,
but as the world gets older and colder,
it's good to know where your journey ends.

Someday we'll all be together once more,
when all of the ships come back to the shore,
Ill realise something I've always known,
I still call Australia home.

But no matter how far or wide I roam,
I still call Australia, I still call Australia, I still call Australia home.
but no matter how far or wide I roam,
I still call Australia I still call Australia, I still call Australia home.



This song was written by Peter Allen. It touches every Aussie all over the world, no matter where they are. I still have to stop myself from crying whenever I hear this song. This country is incredible. And while there may be more exciting cities, bigger cities, brighter cities.... there is nowhere I'd rather be.

If you are an Australian and are reading this, download this song. Then close your eyes, and think of home. It will come easily. And when you are done, try hard not to feel patriotic. You will find it is impossible. I will always call Australia home. Always.
