ADAM BRAND - THE ANZAC lyrics

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
