We stand for blood and country
For beauties rich and rare
We stand for all our fallen
Who died because they cared
We stand for children’s freedoms
The future at their hands
We stand for the survival
Of our great and Southern Land
We’ll let you call upon us
And welcome you to our shores
But you must not change our culture
Or disregard our laws
This sunburnt golden nation
With sand as red as fire
The beauty of her outback
Will flame your hearts desire
The sweat upon the farmer
As he toils against the heat
The Aussie fighting spirit
Like one you’ll never meet
The land cries out for water
But still they will not stop
Through blood and sweat and tears
To provide us with their crop
This Australia, she is our land
We built with our blood and sweat
To try and take her from us
is a fight you will regret
We stand for our great culture
For Advance Australia Fair
To keep this land a safer place
For our children’s future care
We stand for Aussie values
The best you’ll ever see
We stand for love and justice
And for us to remain free
Please stand and fight with us for her
Because she’s now at war
With those who wish to crush
The Aussie spirit to the core
Stand and never surrender
Protect her from this strife
Stand shoulder to shoulder
Because we owe this land our life.
