1914 began, he was working on the land with his mum and dad |
|
He left behind his girl, joined up to see the world, it made his mother sad |
|
He made it through the war, came back to town |
|
To help his father work the fields and rebuild his life somehow |
|
And everybody called him the ANZAC and that's still what they call him now |
|
He set his mind to stay when his father passed away and the river ran dry |
|
He said "I'll take care of you mum, I've fought before and won, we can win this fight" |
|
All alone he'd work all day until he'd drop, until the place got back to best he didn't stop |
|
There were times he thought he'd been forgotten |
|
But every night at six o'clock |
|
They'd stand for that man they called the ANZAC |
|
And those who gave their lives for us |
|
They'd stand for that man they called the ANZAC |
|
For fighting for the land he loves |
|
At the same time every year we all remember him |
|
At the crack of dawn we stand as one for all our fallen friends |
|
So drink to that man we call the ANZAC |
|
We will remember him |
|
So stand for that man we call the ANZAC |
|
And those who gave their lives for us |
|
Let's stand for that man we call the ANZAC |
|
For fighting for the land we love |
|
Let's stand for that man we call the ANZAC |
|
For fighting for the land we love |
|
We will remember them |
