"SOMETHING OF VALUE"
-Eric

I can see the Southern Cross
While here below, bathed in it's
The Dreamtime land safe, snug and tight is
Wrapped in and contentedness
No discordant sounds our rest
While the gentle souls we've are weeping

We it all by the gun and the sword
By the of our race and in the name of our God
Though as outcasts ourselves, transported,
None knew than we the injustice of men

We took it all in our and need
Enslaved by our past and consumed by our
And left them to beg for the at our door
While we called them drunkards and wasters and
They've drowning, drowning in their tears
for the last two hundread

From England's New
to the land the tall ships came
with human cattle in convict chains to them
In the grim just to stay alive
Dreams must to survive
Few could see the glitt'ring prize them

We had it all in the palm of our
A new hope, a new dream, a new life, a new
One last chance to from the chains of the past
To build something of value, build something to

This ancient land was a vast page
Waiting for the writers of a brand new age
The future was ours to or profane
A paradise lost, a paradise
Now tell me, is here,
after two years?

So now, beneath the Southern
it's time to up the cost
of what we've gained and what we've lost
Though much has gone we replace
of us who love this place
Together now, must turn and face the

So here's to us all, we're humankind
who wander through mostly helpless and blind
To our courage and cowardice, our humor and
Our hundred steps forward, back again

Yes here's to us all, the and the fools
The indifferent, the caring, the kind and the
As we to the beat of an uncertain drum
Stumbling towards we may yet become
Towards the new frontiers,
of the next two years
