This song was played during the TV broadcasting for the official National Day of Mourning for the victims of the February 7 2009 Victorian bushfires. That was my first time I heard this song completely, and I was very impressed.

But I found it was difficult for me to clearly catch each word of this song, as I hardly can understand several words (especially some names). Thereffore, I tried to google its lyric and code it to LRC format.
I used some video/music that already exists on youtube and my LRC lyric to make this video.

You may use this LRC lyric if you like:
[00:04.00] (Chorus) We are one but we are many
[00:10.00] And from all the lands on earth we come
[00:17.05] We share a dream and sing with one voice
[00:27.00] I am
[00:28.50] You are
[00:30.50] We are Australian
[00:35.01]I came from the dream time
[00:39.42]from the dusty red soil plains
[00:42.31]I am the ancient heart - the keeper of the flame
[00:49.04]I stood upon the rocky shore
[00:51.72]I watched the tall ships come
[00:56.00]For forty thousand years
[00:57.19]I'd been the first Australian
[01:09.35]I came upon the prison ship
[01:13.80]bound down by iron chains
[01:15.20]I cleared the land, endured the lash and waited for the rains
[01:21.18]I'm a settler
[01:23.25]I'm a farmer's wife on a dry and barren run
[01:28.69]A convict then a free man
[01:32.80]I became Australian
[01:40.51]I'm the daughter of a digger
[01:43.51]who sought the mother lode
[01:46.90]The girl became a woman on the long and dusty road
[01:53.12]I'm a child of the depression
[01:56.52]I saw the good times come
[01:59.50]I'm a bushy, I'm a battler
[02:03.22]I am Australian
[02:08.01]We are one but we are many
[02:14.68]And from all the lands on earth we come
[02:19.00]We share a dream
[02:23.42]And sing with one voice
[02:28.00]I am, you are, we are Australian
[02:39.48]I'm a teller of stories
[02:43.85]I'm a singer of songs
[02:46.21]I am Albert Namatjira
[02:49.60]and I paint the ghostly gums
[02:53.03]I am Clancy on his horse
[02:56.91]I'm Ned Kelly on the run
[03:00.77]I'm the one who waltzed Matilda
[03:03.33]I am Australian
[03:06.27]I'm the hot wind from the desert
[03:11.91]I'm the black soil of the plains
[03:13.89]I'm the mountains and the valleys
[03:18.31]I'm the drought and flooding rains
[03:21.87]I am the rock, I am the sky
[03:25.24]The rivers when they run
[03:28.00]The spirit of this great land
[03:30.90]I am Australian
[03:34.41]We are one but we are many
[03:42.64]And from all the lands on earth we come
[03:48.34]We share a dream
[03:51.84]And sing with one voice
[03:56.23]I am, you are, we are Australian
[04:01.24]We are one but we are many
[04:08.84]And from all the lands on earth we come
[04:15.16]We share a dream
[04:19.55]And sing with one voice
[04:23.03]I am, you are, we are Australian
