Come back to me, country, come back to my eye I miss your blue valleys I miss your long roads and your red ochre heart Come back to me, country I'll take in your rivers, the birds, and the fish The amazing marsupials I wish We could sit around the campfire as a family again Be a part of the bush Come back to me, country, come back to my eye The waratahs in season and the wattles in July The smell of the gidgee and the eucalyptus here The laughing kookaburras and galahs everywhere What I'm trying to say, I want back my wings To fly over the borders like an eagle From the tropical north to the Nullarbor Plain I won't take for granted our freedom again Come back to me, country, come back to my eye The waratahs in season and the wattles in July The smell of the gidgee and the eucalyptus here The laughing kookaburras and galahs everywhere Come back to me, country, come back to my eye I miss your blue valleys and your big open sky I miss your long roads and your red ochre heart Come back to me, country, been too long apart Come back to me, country, been too long apart I won't take for granted our freedom again
