Struggles of Australia

Down under where the sun's blazing hot Life in Australia it's a tough spot From the bush to the cities we're all in the mix Facing hardships daily getting through the tricks Out in the outback where the dust storms roll Survival's the game it'll toughen your soul Kangaroos hop and the emus run In this rugged land we're just having fun In the cities we hustle chasing dreams so grand But the cost of living's rising can't afford the land From Sydney to Melbourne Brisbane to Perth We're working hard trying to prove our worth Beaches are lovely but the sharks are lurking In this land of wonders we are so lonely From fires to the floods we are still standing strong strayas stunning beauty it's where we belong The Aboriginal people our history's so deep Colonization scars still make us weep We strive for justice for the convicts that came here Learning from the past we're trying not to fail Hard life in Straya is a tale to be told In this rocked up land where the heart is gold We unite in diversity with the Southern Cross Facing life's challenges no matter what the loss From the Great Barrier Reef to the rocked up Red Centre Life in Australia it's an epic adventure We face the heatwaves and the floods so wild With our mates beside us we can conquer our rivals So here's to the land of the kangaroo and koala Where life is hard but our spirit's stand a dollar In this sunburnt country we stand side by side Through all the struggles we continue ti survive In Australia's tough life we'll find our way Facing each sunrise come what may From the bush to the cities our spirit's alive In this hard life in Australia we'll always thrive
