I belong to Country

I belong to the towering darrambang (gum trees) 

sheltering me wherever I go

I belong to the vast, deep, mysterious sky

and the budjan (birds) that call it home

I belong to the fresh breeze

that sweeps across my face

I belong to the karat (rain) 

that falls gracefully in every place

I belong to Country

and this Country is for me

And as I stand upon this Country

I feel completely free.
