I am, you are, we are in isolation
At the end of this weeks Woiyne Toiyme I want a ROUSING and heartfelt sing-a-long, Lucy and I have re-worked ‘I am Australian’ to reflect what’s going on in the world. The words are below so you can sing your little hearts out with me this Friday night!

I am in Isolation
I came from the bedroom
No pants, my bra undone.
I gave up on personal hygiene
On the arvo of day one.
I stumble to the lounge room
And stare at my three kids
Their screen time has quadrupled
But I don’t give a shit
I’ve watched all of Netflix,
Given the house a deep cleanse
Run out of stuff to say to the other half
Fuck I miss my friends
I’ve called out from my balcony
But I can’t see anyone
Cos I don’t live in Europe
I am Australian
We are one. But we are many
And from all the lands on Earth we’re shunned
We share online, and whinge with one voice.
I am, you are in isolation.
A morning glass of rosé is
My only source of fun
I am a frigging hero
I’m in isolation
I miss the shops, I miss the sky, we’re in it for the long run
We’ve got everything we need, unless we need to wipe our bum.
We are one. But we are many
And from all the lands on Earth we’re shunned
We share online, and whinge with one voice.
I am, you are in isolation.
We are bored, but we are ready
To avoid all and every one
We’ll flatten curves, and social distance
I am, you are in isolation.
We stay home, to save our seniors
And to help our friends with dodgy lungs
We’ll share a dream, and beat this virus.
I’ll stay, you stay, in hibernation.
I am, you are, we’re in… isolation.
This is gold, you are a gem Em.
It was my dream to be in the Australian Youth Choir singing this song as a kid. But Even though I was accepted, I couldn’t join coz mum said the socks (And probs the feed) were too expensive (lol)
