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
|
