I dreamed a dream of Yesteryear
When love was simple and life quite clear,
Whether here or there or anywhere else
The only person that mattered was me myself.

I wondered around this country so fine
Just to see all the different sights I could find,
Not a stone unturned did I leave on my quest
Each new place I went, I thought was the best.

From the green rolling grasslands with it's rivers and lakes
The beauty uncurled like the coils of a snake,
From the fast moving cities to this country's outback
I've been there my friends and one day will go back.

For the wonders I've seen in this country so wide
Has been burned in my memory in a passing tide,
I dreamed a dream of Yesteryear
And as I awoke my eyes shed a tear.
