I STILL CALL AUSTRALIA HOME

I AM ALWAYS TRAVELING, 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,
I '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.
