Beneath The Southern Cross
Lyrics – Korey Livy
He puts on a brave face
it’s a part of his uniform
He doesn’t show no fear
No it’s his job to be strong
But his heart is broken
And he hides his battle scars
Just another hero
Lost and forgotten about
How can we forget them
For all that they have done
They sacrificed, gave everything
Our freedom it was won
Loyalty and courage
Beneath the southern cross
Australian Soldiers tall and proud
Fighting for all of us
He never questions orders
Even when it all goes wrong
You roll out the wire
You never know who’s comin’ home
There’s no way of winning
Fighting demons at your door
The pictures on his skin
Are a reminder of it all
How can we forget them
For all that they have done
They sacrificed, gave everything
Our freedom it was won
Loyalty and courage
Beneath the southern cross
Australian Soldiers tall and proud
Fighting for all of us
Australians all let us rejoice
For we are young and free
Beneath the southern cross
A soldier died for me
So how can we forget them
For all that they have done
They sacrificed, gave everything
Our freedom it was won
Loyalty and courage
Beneath the southern cross
Australian Soldiers tall and proud
Fighting for all of us
Yeah! How can we forget them
For all that they have done
They sacrificed, gave everything
Our freedom it was won
Loyalty and courage
Beneath the southern cross
Australian Soldiers tall and proud
Fighting for all of us
