This is a song about Australian migration with some Australian slang, but it could be anywhere in the world really. The message is simple Love your new country, its people and they will love you back!

My fathers didn’t walk this soil
My mother’s words you may not comprehend
My food you may not understand
For I come from a far away land
Yet I learned to eat your pie
And I love drinking your beer
As you learned to share my meal
And you like drinking my wine
For as time has gone by
We have shared what’s in our swag
They used to call me new Australian
They used to call me something else
They used to call me bloody something
Yet I still became true blue
‘cause true blue is in my heart
I love a drink with my mates
I love to share their good times
And help out in bad times
It’s not easy being half aussie
For my heart is split in two
But if it came down to the crunch
I’d give my life for my new country
For I feel just as you do
This is a gift we must protect
This is the luckiest country
thanks to the people who live here
You made this country lucky
And I am glad I came along
So no matter where you are from
The fact is that you are here
Love the people of this land
And they’ll love you back some more
Solo
My fathers didn’t walk this soil
My mother’s words you may not comprehend
My food you may not understand
For I come from a far away land
Yet I learned to eat your pie
And I love drinking your beer
As you learned to share my meal
And you like drinking my wine
For as time has gone by
We have shared what’s in our swag
They used to call me new Australian
They used to call me something else
They used to call me bloody something
Yet I still became true blue
‘cause true blue is in my heart
I love a drink with my mates
I love to share their good times
And help out in bad times
So no matter where you are from
The fact is that you are here
Love the people of this land
And they’ll love you back some more
