[Verse]
Through the jungle thick and wild they tread
With weary feet and hearts of lead
Each step a promise each breath a fight
They carried hope through the endless night
[Prechorus]
The air was heavy the cries were loud
But their courage stood like a thundercloud
[Chorus]
Kokoda heroes brave and true
We stand here now because of you
For those who fell for those who rise
We’ll remember you beneath these skies
[Verse 2]
They bore the weight of a nation's dream
Through rain and mud through the rushing stream
With love for home and the will to try
They faced the storm with heads held high
[Prechorus]
The shadows loomed the mountains called
But they pushed ahead unshaken unspoiled
[Chorus]
Kokoda heroes brave and true
We stand here now because of you
For those who fell for those who rise
We’ll remember you beneath these skies
