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
verse 2
Here 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 call;
We've gotta come out fighting,
Our backs against the wall!

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
