Sunrise

[Verse]

Sunrise on a kangaroo chase

Outback dreams set the wild pace

Girl of girls with a heart of gold

Come back again our stories unfold

[Verse 2]

Down under skies so vast and blue

Through coral reefs and mountains too

Mr. Wilson sang tales so neat

From rain forests to the urban street

[Chorus]

Come back again we’ll watch the sun

Where the land is wild and the beaches run

Hold tight the dreams Australia brings

In the Outback night you can hear it sing

[Verse 3]

Koalas in the eucalyptus high

With didgeridoo songs that touch the sky

Girl of girls come stay awhile

Your laughter can make the bushfires smile

[Bridge]

From Sydney Harbour to Uluru's ground

A melody in every corner found

Mr. Wilson's voice echoes clear

In the heart of this land we hold dear

[Verse 4]

Outback breeze whispers through the night

Southern Cross stars shining so bright

Come back again to the land you knew

Where Australia waits with skies so true
