A FEDERAL SONG
From the graves beneath the sky
Where Her nameless heroes lie,
From the forelands of the Future they are waiting
our reply!
We can face the roughest weather
If we only hold together,
Marching forward to the Future, marching shoulder-
firm together,
For the Nation yet to be.
Where Her nameless heroes lie,
From the forelands of the Future they are waiting
our reply!
We can face the roughest weather
If we only hold together,
Marching forward to the Future, marching shoulder-
firm together,
For the Nation yet to be.
All the greyness of the dawning, all the mists are
over-past,
In the glory of the morning we shall see Her face at
last.
He who sang, "She yet will be,"
He shall hail her, crowned and free!
Could we break the land asunder God has girdled
with the Sea?
For the Flag is floating o'er us,
And the star of Hope before us,
From the desert to the ocean, brothers, lift the
mighty chorus
For Australian Unity.
