"This is Australia Calling" lyrics

"This is Australia Calling"

There's a message from the outback
A murmur on the breeze
From restless dreams awaken me this morning
A message came from Uluru
A spirit's ill at ease
In ancient voices sounding out a warning
You've taken all you wanted
I heard the anguish cries
Time has come to say enough
Before the well runs dry

This is Australia calling
This is Australia calling

Here comes the future
Time to fire up
Gonna 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't you hear them call
We've gotta come out fighting
Our back's against the wall

This is Australia calling
This is Australia calling
This is Australia calling
This is Australia calling

Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there?

This is Australia calling
This is Australia calling

This is Australia calling
