I can see the Southern Cross tonight 
While here below, bathed in it's light 
The Dreamtime land safe, snug and tight is sleeping 
Wrapped in complacency and contentedness 
No discordant sounds disturb our rest 
While the gentle souls we've dispossesed are weeping 

We took it all by the gun and the sword 
By the right of our race and in the name of our God 
Though as outcasts ourselves, transported, condemned 
None knew better than we the injustice of men 

We took it all in our hunger and need 
Enslaved by our past and consumed by our greed 
And left them to beg for the scraps at our door 
While we called them drunkards and wasters and whores 
They've been drowning, drowning in their tears 
for the last two hundread years 

From England's New Jerusalem 
to the Dreamtime land the tall ships came 
with human cattle in convict chains to bind them 
In the grim fight just to stay alive 
Dreams must struggle to survive 
Few could see the glitt'ring prize before them 

We had it all in the palm of our hand 
A new hope, a new dream, a new life, a new land 
One last chance to break from the chains of the past 
To build something of value, build something to last 

This ancient land was a vast empty page 
Waiting for the great writers of a brand new age 
The future was ours to protect or profane 
A paradise lost, a paradise gained 
Now tell me, is paradise here, 
after two hundred years? 

So now, beneath the Southern Cross 
it's time to tally up the cost 
of what we've gained and what we've lost forever 
Though much has gone we can't replace 
Those of us who love this place 
Together now, must turn and face the future 

So here's to us all, we're frail humankind 
who wander through life mostly helpless and blind 
To our courage and cowardice, our humor and pain 
Our hundred steps forward, ninety-nine back again 

Yes here's to us all, the wise and the fools 
The indifferent, the caring, the kind and the cruel 
As we march to the beat of an uncertain drum 
Stumbling towards what we may yet become 
Towards the brave new frontiers, 
of the next two hundred years
