United under Southern Cross
They went to fight for what they’d lost
With love & freedom in their hearts
They went to save Australia

And as they came from 'cross the land
The lines were drawn upon the sand
With Anzac spirits they fought on
The fight to save Australia
Shine the light now they will see
Listen to the trumpet one two three
Singing in the mornin’ they will see
Skip to m’lou my darlin’

Chorus:
Bringin’ in the light now bringin’ in the dawn, Push the dark out til the morn’
Bringin’ in the light now bringin’ in the dawn, Push until the mornin'
Bringin’ in the light now bringin’ in the dawn, Push the dark out til the morn’
Bringin’ in the light now bringin’ in the dawn, Push until the mornin’

And in the end when all was done
The dams all burst, the traitors hung
And light shone through for all to see
The spirit of Australia

Bringin’ in the light now...

United under Southern Cross
They went to fight for what they’d lost
With love & freedom in their hearts
They went to save Australia
It’s Barrenjoey Road they take
To claim their rights from 'cross the lake
For freedom all that we must take
The fight to save Australia

Bringin’ in the light now...
