Keep This Country Our Own

A song about being proud of the Australia that I grew up in. While also saying, let’s be cautious we don’t ruin it for future generations. It’s known as one of the best countries in the world for good reasons. Let’s put politics aside and keep this place in tact for our kids to enjoy. – Stevie J

Lyric Video


KEEP THIS COUNTRY OUR OWN

Stevie J Mayer (feat: Kurt Stevens)

Well it’s true to say this country, is the greatest place to be
The Chinese and Italian’s and the Kiwi’s all agree
And they’re all fine and welcome, and business by air and sea
As long as we don’t forget to

Keep this country our own
From our great golden beaches, to the far northern reaches
Keep this country our own

So gather your postcards and pictures
For it soon may be taken away
And we’ll all wake up one mornin’ to a new flag in Botany Bay
Cos buy everything from Korea, when we’re all out of work over here
It’s time we got off our butts and

Keep this country our own
From our great golden beaches, to the far northern reaches
Keep this country our own

Or it’s bye bye to the land we all grew up in
It’s too late to cry, when she’s gone, you gotta believe me now

[ INSTRUMENTAL ]

Yeah, yeah
Keep this country our own
From our great golden beaches, to the far northern reaches
Keep this country our own

Keep this country our own
From our rich Southern Highlands, to the Outback and Islands
Keep this country our own

Keep this country our own
Keep this country our own
Yeah, we gotta keep this country our own
