John Williamson This is Australia Calling song lyrics

There's a message from the outback

A murmur on the breeze

From restless dreams

Awaken me this morning

The message came from Uluru

The spirit's ill at ease

In ancient voices sounding out a warning

"You've taken all you wanted!"

I heard the anguished cry

"The time has come to say "enough" before the well runs dry"

This is Australia calling

This is Australia calling

Hear comes the future

Time to fire up

Gotta find a way

To get this country rolling

Doom and gloom is easy

We've gotta shake it off

Gotta get up early in the morning

The honeymoon is over

Can you hear the calls

We've gotta come out fighting

Our backs against the wall

This is Australia calling

This is Australia calling

This is Australia calling

This is Australia calling

Is there anybody out there

Is there anybody out there

This is Australia calling

This is Australia calling

This is Australia calling

This is Australia calling
