mrtibbs6912's video: Journey To Australia Song sung by Rita MacNeil

JOURNEY TO AUSTRALIA On my journey to Australia I had visions I had dreams They say that once you walk the land You'll never want to leave And on the way to Bundaberg I passed the cane train into town There's just a hint of sweetness When they burn that cane field down And if you like the city lights There's something you should know Australia, your city nights Are something to behold Chorus: And how can I tell the folks back home Just how great you are Did the painter get the picture Can the dreamer catch the star Australia in your shining sun There's one thing you should know I will remember you wherever I may go Oh the places I will travel Where I have never been I'll see a thousand faces Before it's time to leave And at the close of every day When all is feeling right I'll close my eyes and in dream time I'll think of you tonight And if you like the city lights There's something you should know Australia, your city nights Are something to behold. Chorus: And how can I tell the folks back home Just how great you are Did the painter get the picture Can the dreamer catch the star Australia in your shining sun There's one thing you should know I will remember you wherever I may go Oh, I will remember your wherever I may go ""Waltzing matilda, waltzing matilda You'll come a waltzing matilda with me" On a journey to Australia.

For asking me to put this video together. I was very honoured to do this for you Carol. Rita MacNeil is one of my favorite singers, and I am very proud and honoured to honour Rita this way. When I first heard this song, "It makes you feel so proud that you are an "aussie" when you hear this beautiful tribute to our country."
