I come from the salt water people
We always live by the sea
They say home is where you find it
Will this place ever satisfy me
My island home, my island home
My island home, is waiting for me x 2
Six years I have lived in the desert
Every night I dreamt of the sea
Now i'm down here living in the city
With all of my family
My island home, my island home
My island home, is waiting for me x 2
In the evening dry wind blows
From the hills and across the plains
I close my eyes and I'm standing
In a boat on the sea again
And I'm holding that long turtle spear
And i feel i'm close now to where it must be
My island home is waiting for me
My home is Australia
We are a land bound by sea
Though I may travel far across the ocean
It will never forget me
My island home, my island home
My island home, is waiting for me x 2
My island, my island home
My island home is surrounded by sea
My island home, my island home
My island home is waiting for me
My island home x 4
