The ANZAC - Adam Brand

When 1914 began

He was workin' 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

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

So stand for that man we call The ANZAC

For fighting for the land we love

We will remember them
