ANZAC Day 

Below are the lyrics for our ANZAC Day Ceremony songs:

In Flanders Fields

In Flanders Fields the poppies blow,
Between the crosses, row on row.
That mark our place and in the sky,
The larks still bravely singing fly.

Scarce heard amid the guns below,
We are the dead. Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow.
Loved and were loved, and now we lie.

In Flanders fields, in Flanders fields!
And now we lie in Flanders fields.

Take up your quarrel with the foe.
To You from failing hands we throw.
The torch be yours to hold it high.
If ye break faith with us who die.

We shall not sleep, though poppies grow,
In Flanders fields, in Flanders fields.
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow,
In Flanders fields, in Flanders fields.

I Am Australian (ANZAC Version)

Verse 1

I hear the trumpet calling, as clear as a bell.

Sounding over bloody fields, so many young men fell.

At the dawn, we honour them, each and every one.

Lest you be forgotten, our brave Australians.

Verse 2

I am every Australian, who answered freedom's call.

To leave their homes and loved ones, and fight on foreign shores.

At Gallipoli and Lone Pine, their legend was begun.

I am the unknown soldier, I am Australian

Chorus

We are one. But we are many.

And from all the lands on Earth we come.

We share a dream, and sing with one voice.

I am, you are, we are Australian.

Verse 3

Your sons and your daughters, are now marching by your side.

They carry your battle flags, and say your names with pride.

Your courage and your mate-ship, in all of us, lives on.

I am the ANZAC spirit. I am Australian.

Double Chorus

We are one. But we are many.

And from all the lands on Earth we come.

We share a dream, and sing with one voice.

I am, you are, we are Australian.

We are one. But we are many.

And from all the lands on Earth we come.

We share a dream, and sing with one voice.

I am, you are, we are Australian.

Coda

I am, you are, we are Australian.
