When 1914 began
He was working on the land
With his mum and dad
He left behind his girl
Joined up to see the world
It made his mother sad
And he made it through the war
And came back to town
To help his father work the fields
And rebuild his life somehow
And everybody calls him the Anzac
And that's still what they call him now
He set his mind to stay
When his father passed away
And the rivers ran dry
He said, I'll take care of you, mum
I fought before and won
We can win this fight
And all alone he'd work all day
Until it dropped
Until the place got back to best
He didn't stop
There were times he thought he'd been forgotten
But every night at six o'clock
Well they don't stand for that
Man they call the Anzac
Those that gave their lives for us
They stand for that
Man they call the Anzac
For fighting for the land he loves
At the same time every year
We all remember them
But at the crack of dawn
We stand as one
For all our fallen friends
So we stand for that
Man they call the Anzac
We will remember them
So stand for that
Man they call the Anzac
For those that gave their lives
For us
They stand for that
Man they call the Anzac
For fighting for the land that he loves
Oh we stand for that
Man they call the Anzac
For fighting for the land that he loves
We will remember
We will remember
