Australian Soldiers Loved

Over a hundred thousand brave, Australian soil, a soldier's grave. Since the Great War's distant shore, They fought for us, and fight no more.

We remember them, each name, each face, In every town, in every place. Australian veterans, hearts so bold, Their stories whispered, never old.

Some came home, but never whole, Scars unseen upon the soul. Injured bodies, spirits strained, A different life, forever changed.

Disabled heroes, standing tall, Facing battles after all. Homeless wanderers, lost and lone, Forgotten faces, far from home.

Badly treated, cast aside, Their sacrifice, too often denied. But in our hearts, a flame remains, To right the wrongs, to ease the pains.

Nightmares haunt their weary sleep, Of battlefields, where shadows creep. The echoes of the guns still boom, Within the walls of every room.

We remember them, each name, each face, In every town, in every place. Australian veterans, hearts so bold, Their stories whispered, never old.

They are loved, they are respected, Their courage honored, never neglected. Australian veterans, strong and true, We owe our freedom all to you.

We remember them, forevermore, On every shore, and evermore. Australian veterans, never gone, Their memory lives, from dusk till dawn.
