Australia Day 2025
I’m grateful for the things I have
And for my family too.
The friendships made along the way
Some old, some very new.
I’m glad I live just where I do
And proudly do I stand.
The freedom here that we all share
Australia is my land.
I’ll lay out in our sun so warm
I will not give a toss.
And when the stars come out tonight
Salute the Southern Cross.
So, on this Twenty Sixth of Jan
I’ll raise our flag so high.
And celebrate Australia Day
Our anthem sing, will I.
I know there’s some who’ll disagree
And they will raise their voice.
For that is our Australian way
All here can have a choice.
The only time we have is now
We cannot change our past.
Our futures never guaranteed
So, make each second last.
And when it is all said and done
I’ve one more thing to say
To every one of you out there
‘Happy Australia Day.’
