Song Lyrics

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, walkabouts that take me home
A place that everybody knows

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
In the state I'm in, it's on my mind
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
In the place I live I'm so alive
Tonight

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 great 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

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
In the place I live I'm so alive
Tonight

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 great southern sky

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Under the light of the great southern sky
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
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 great southern sky

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Under the light of the great southern sky
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Under the light of the great southern sky
Tonight
