I am Australiam

“And we are one,

yet we are many

and from all the lands on earth we come. 

We share the dream and sing with one voice,

I am

You are

We are

Australian.”

This song is so beautiful it made me cry.

Bruce McChristie is a singer-songwriter, and his sweet Willie Nelson voice was joined by most of the Australians in our group who knew this song.  Their voices filled the room, and it was poignant and achingly beautiful.

Later that evening, Shirley gave me a CD with that song on it.  Thank you, Shirley.
