Ma bo Lyrics

Paul Keating:

There's a tale I heard

Of an island man

Tough and undeterred, he said "Haven't you heard?

This land - our land!"

"We belong"

That's what the High Court said

So when you sing this song, you gotta sing it for Ed.

For Eddie.

Keating:

Speak the truth and make it so!

And if we follow this philosophy

Demand a land beyond compare

Then girt by faith and generosity

We'll all combine to redefine a beauty rich and rare

In joyful strains then let us sing...

All:

Advance Australia...
