The True Australians

The true Australians have in them empathy And for the sufferings of others they feel sympathy They do not look down on the homeless the stateless and those in poverty But sad to say in their own Country they are in a minority To the good people of humanity the true Australians belong All forms of racism and xenophobia they condemn as wrong And in word or deed never put anyone down Though people like they are strangers to renown The true Australians are honorable in every way Respect to all of all races they are always willing to pay They are the unsung heroes and heroines of the great Southern Land They live by a code of honor though those with far less compassion more respect seem to command The true Australians can feel proud for to take their place Among the great people of the human race They embrace the great beauty on the fair go for all And in their ways and thinking in them nothing small The true Australians are people i can only admire And of singing their praises i never do tire On what they believe in pure beauty they create It is people like they are make Australia great.
