1. Over deserts…… through the sands of time
Over salt lakes…… beyond the opal lines
Down the ranges…… that lead us to the shores.

2. Mighty river…… miles of treeless plains
Sacred island…… the end of nature’s trails
Endless beaches…… and endless skies of blue
Calling you.

CHORUS
Come alive, catch the spirit of South Australia
Come and stay, stay awhile
Join the ride, join the journey of a lifetime
Come alive when you feel
The spirit of South Australia.

3. Peaceful city…… of a million lights
Peaceful valleys…… where grapes turn into wines
Country people…… who greet you with a smile.

4. Feel the spirit…… in an artist’s hand
Feel the dreaming…… in every grain of sand
Feel the future…… in everybody’s eyes
Stay awhile.

Come alive, catch the spirit of South Australia
Come and stay, stay awhile
Join the ride, join the journey of a lifetime
Come alive when you feel
The spirit of South Australia.

Come alive, catch the spirit of South Australia
Come and stay, stay awhile
Join the ride, join the journey of a lifetime
Come alive when you feel
The spirit of South Australia
The spirit of South Australia
The spirit of South Australia.
