Under a blazing sun, beneath a clear blue sky this rugged land is dying and we can only sigh the outback has its beauties the city has its charm but we must pull together if we’re to save from harm All we need is a chance and we want a fair go to reach out to others so people can grow in this land called Australia there is one thing I know all we need is a chance and we’ll have a fair go. We have tough beginnings and we are built to last moving to the future, moulded by our past We have loved this country all through adversity Now we move onto future dreams caught from history All we need is a chance and we want a fair go To reach out to others so people can grow In this land called Australia there is one thing I know all we need is a chance and we’ll have a fair go. Disadvantaged people pass by us everyday and watching them is not enough; we have to pave the way for better, brighter prospects – to be the best they can with a Fair go to lead us we’ll make it our plan All we need is a chance and we want a fair go to reach out to others so people can grow in this land called Australia there is one thing I know all we need is a chance and we’ll have a fair go. Repeat to end fade a good commitee can decimate communication. |

You'd be wise to know and safer still to know that you are going uphill as people here to want to pass to a land with vision's past! ~*~ Be prepared, dearheart, for immigration! |

It is very apparent through your compelling words that you not only love your country, but you also understand it. You have the heart of a patriot ~ and the pen of a fine poet! ~ and song-writer! Loving hug, EA |

"watching them is not enough; we have to pave the way for better, brighter prospects – to be the best they can" nice lyrics, and a warm welcome mat! |
