I hear the land calling me | |||

A million days I saw the sunrise | |||
And a million nights I danced | |||
I hear the land calling me | |||

<poem>
I hear the land calling:
terra,terra
I hear the land calling me
terra australis non est terra incognita
I hear the land calling me
To walk on ochre soil under stary skies
A million days I saw the sunrise
And a million nights I danced
I hear the land calling me
Terra, grandis terra australis.
