When 1914 began
He was working on the land
With his mom and dad
He left behind his girl
Joined up to see the world
And made his mother sad
He made it through the war
Came back to town
To help his father work the fields
And rebuild his life somehow
And everybody called him the Anzac
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, Mom
I've fought before and won
We can win this fight
And all along
And all along
He'd work all day
Until he'd drop
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
They'd stand for that man
They called the Anzac
And those who gave their lives for us
They'd stand for that man
They called the Anzac
For fighting for the land he loved

At the same time every year
We all remember him
At the crack of dawn
We stand as one
We're all our fallen friends
So drink to that man
We call the Anzac
We will remember him
So stand for that man
We call the Anzac
Those who gave their lives for us
Let's stand for that man
We call the Anzac
For fighting for the land he loved
So stand for that man
We call the Anzac
For fighting for the land we love
We will remember
