I wanna live, I wanna die under the light of the great Southern sky
I wanna run, straight through the night, chasing the stars with a heart open wide.. under a great Southern sky

There's a song you can hear it playing in a country town
The anthem of the young and free that's what I'm talking bout
Like flooding rains and overflows, desert plains and red dugouts
Walk abouts that take me home, a place that everybody knows

In the state I'm in is on my mind
In the place I live I'm so alive
Tonight...

I wanna live, I wanna die under the light of the great Southern sky
High on a plain, in thunder and rain
I wanna live, I wanna die under the light of the big Southern sky

There's a spirit, can you feel it going in this country wide?
From the burning sun in Arnhem land across the great divide
Children singing out aloud: we are one and we are proud
The future's starting here and now, sing it all together now

In the place I live I'm so alive
Tonight...

I wanna live, I wanna die under the light of the great Southern sky
High on a plain, in thunder and rain
I wanna live, I wanna die under the light of the big Southern sky

I wanna live, I wanna die under the light of the great Southern sky
I wanna run, straight through the night, chasing the stars with a heart open wide
High on a plain, in thunder and rain
I wanna live, I wanna die under the light of the big Southern sky

Under the light of the big Southern sky...
