we stand

those that left their families and went and fought,

the men who made up our anzacs,

those that the gift of protection is what they sought,

sixty thousand men who were in the war’s fateful attacks,

we stand to give our thanks.

april twenty-fifth is a commemorative day,

the day our anzacs landed at gallipoli,

fighting for our freedom of a rightly say,

young men protecting us voluntarily,

we stand to give our thanks.

our gratitude for them is worn on our chest,

while we stand freely on our land,

we are aligned, everyone best dressed,

for we are free as we raise our right hand,

we stand to give our thanks.

the brave men who sought to fight for us,

to protect us from the worlds harm,

these were the men who willingly died for us,

who's only source of protection was a fire-arm,

we stand to give our thanks.
