Adam Brand - 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 pa**ed 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
