The Great Australian Dream Poem by Francis Duggan

To own your own home in a suburban housing estate
Or to watch the captain of your favourite team
Raise the trophy aloft after the A.F.L Grand Final siren
It's all part of the great Australian dream.

To cheer the Aussie cricketers in victory
And against the English watch them reign supreme
And to celebrate with your mates at the local
It's all part of the great Australian dream.

To watch your team win the Rugby League Grand Final
A dream you thought that never would come true
And in the club rooms you celebrate all evening
And the happiest man in all of the World is you.

To watch your son in his first game of football
Whilst others tell you how well he can play
And you feel proud and the thought to you is pleasing
That your son might be a super star one day.

To see your daughter receive her diploma
And you tell your mates about her great success
A moment you'll remember in the future
This moment that brought you such happiness.

To own your own home in a suburban housing estate
And to watch your young son the best player in his team
And to cheer the Aussie cricketers to victory
It's just all part of the great Australian dream.
