Transcript
00:00I've had my fair share of near-death experiences
00:17Each one could have taken my life in shades of eeriness, eeriness
00:23You don't think about it until you get older
00:26When young risk-taking seems to make you bolder, bolder
00:34I've survived encounters with big crocodiles
00:37I've tangled with venomous snakes and survived, survived
00:46Car wrecks I crawled out of without a scratch
00:48And being stuck on cliff and big trees
00:51I'm still alive, I'm still alive
00:57I've found now looking back that all things combine
01:02To make your life more colorful, more vibrant in mine, mine, mine
01:09Traveling and adventuring is what made life so great
01:14And now I'm old, the memories keep me alive, alive, alive
01:20I am alive
01:23I am alive, I am alive, I have survived
01:29I've taken what life has thrown at me and I'm still alive
01:34I have thrived, I have thrived, I have survived
01:40I've wanted deaths many times and I survived
01:46Here in Australia we've got plenty of things that can kill you
01:52Animals and risky things to do
01:54Even red-backed spiders in the loo-loo
01:58There is nothing that says respect more than looking
02:03At big saltwater crocodile eye to eye next to your bow
02:11I survived encounters with big crocodiles
02:13I've tangled with venomous snakes and survived, survived
02:22Car wrecks I crawled out of without a scratch
02:25And being stuck on cliff and big trees
02:27I'm still alive, I'm still alive
02:35I am alive, I am alive, I have survived
02:42I've taken what life has thrown at me and I'm still alive
02:47I have thrived, I have thrived, I have survived
02:53I've wanted deaths many times, survived, survived
03:00Before taking risks, stop and think
03:08Look first, be aware, be alert
03:13Survey the situation
03:16Don't be in a hurry to jump off that cliff
03:22Don't be tempted to pat a crocodile
03:25He only wants to eat you
03:29Here in Australia we've got plenty of things that can kill you
03:34Animals and risky things to do
03:37Even red-backed spiders in the loo-loo
03:41There is nothing that says respect more than looking
03:46At big saltwater crocodile eye to eye next to your bow
03:52I am alive, I am alive, I have survived
04:00I've taken what life has thrown at me and I'm still alive
04:07I have thrived, I have thrived, I have survived
04:12I have survived
04:14I've fought in deaths many times and I survived
04:20I have survived
04:25I have thrived, I have thrived, I have survived
04:32I've been born in death many times and I survived
04:43Here in Australia, here in Australia, here in Australia, in Australia
05:02I've been born in Australia
