lyrics
May you have the wind behind you
And remember us back home
We who think the whole world of you
And would do anything to bring you home
You know we all want to tell you
How we hold you in our hearts
And give you hope and inspiration
An anthem of a sort
Lift yourself up
Lift yourself up
Coming from nothing what you got to lose?
I’m aiming for you
Will you keep me deep inside you
When you wander far from home
If you think there’s nothing left here
There’s us to keep you strong
I have learnt to love these islands
It’s a part of who I am
And I know you will return here
Winners, losers – all as one
Chorus
You know what you have to do
You’ve almost held it in your hands
Beneath the southern cross
And under southern skies
Stars come out one by one
Chorus
And remember us back home
We who think the whole world of you
And would do anything to bring you home
You know we all want to tell you
How we hold you in our hearts
And give you hope and inspiration
An anthem of a sort
Lift yourself up
Lift yourself up
Coming from nothing what you got to lose?
I’m aiming for you
Will you keep me deep inside you
When you wander far from home
If you think there’s nothing left here
There’s us to keep you strong
I have learnt to love these islands
It’s a part of who I am
And I know you will return here
Winners, losers – all as one
Chorus
You know what you have to do
You’ve almost held it in your hands
Beneath the southern cross
And under southern skies
Stars come out one by one
Chorus
