Big snakes? Sure. Massive spiders? Of course. Forests, deserts, thundering rivers and lakes of salt; Australia has it all. It’s a country full of extremes and nuance, chocker block with friendly folk too.

lyrics

Looks Like Australia by Ben Mitchell © 2022

I think I’ve seen this place before
Not sure just when but I recall
That mighty tree, that gentle stream
We crossed, that big rock
And all those stars

It might have been one of my dreams
Looks like Australia to me

I recognise that smile too
You don’t know me, but I know you
Your reputation’s travelled far and wide
Courage and pride in what you do
And who you are

So many new faces to see
Looks like Australia to me

You might have had a hard time
But who could even tell
Resilience comes we all find
When you hold yourself so well
You plant your feet deep in the soil
And you let your breath go free
And you reach up to the sun…
Looks like Australia to me

I feel the spirit coming back
As love heals all and any cracks
When the drought does break, that’s all it takes
For us all, to dance as one

Oh yeah, that’s what I like to see
Looks like Australia to me
