I'll sing you the desert, where blackmen sailed   Waterhole to water, where whitemen failed   See the face of dreamers, forgotten souls   Hear the voice of cattlemen crackle in the coals   Maybe we will learn what's written in the sand   A thousand generations living off the land    I'll sing you the waters, runnin' through the town   Wildflowers and Wattles when it settles down   The Outback is impossible, forever and it's free   No way can I find an end to what it means to me       The Outback       I'll sing you the miners, steel and coal   Opals and diamonds, silver and gold   Emeralds and sapphires, I wish for you   Holes in the outback, down below   There's lakes and there's rivers, caves to be found   And there's another landscape underground       I'll sing you the waters runnin' through the town   Wildflowers and Wattles when it settles down   The backbone of the women who fight on and on   The healing of the sunset when all is said and done   The Outback is impossible, forever and it's free   No way can I find an end to what it means to me       To what it means to me   The Outback
