"The Anzac" Lyrics

When 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
Everybody called him the ANZAC
That's still what they call him now...

He set his mind to stay when his father passed away
And the river's 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 thair lives for us...
They'd stand for that man they called the ANZAC
For fighting for the land he love's

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 he love's

Let's stand for that man we call the ANZAC
For fighting for the land we love

We will remember them
