I am a kangaroo,I leap far and wide,

Australia is my land,my joy and pride.

I am a kangaroo,the Forest's pride,

A symbol of unique life far and wide.

I am a kangaroo,I always move ahead,

I never turn backward --- forward I tread.

I am a kangaroo,I conquer fear,

On rugged paths I persevere.

I am a kangaroo,affection is my shield,

Inmy pouch my child is safely scaled.

I am a kangaroo, strength flows in my blood,

I guard my young with a mother's love.
