Best Song Daughter Poems


Hard Hat Heroes

There's a breed of Aussie hero who has served this nation well 
and they don a yellow uniform to face the fires of hell. 
When day temperatures are soaring and the high winds blow a gust, 
and our bushland is ignited it's in them we place our trust.   
Yes, you're all somebody's daughter and you're all somebody's son; 
you are mothers and you’re fathers.  Hard hat heroes everyone. 
 
When their mates are in the hot seat and they need a helping hand, 
they will volunteer their services from stations 'cross this land. 
Whether country towns or cities or a bush fire brigade; 
they will gladly throw their hats in and will offer their mates aide. 
Yes, you're all somebody's daughter and you're all somebody's son; 
you are mothers and you’re fathers.  Hard hat heroes everyone. 
 
Do you owe your home or property, your very lives perhaps,     
to the selfless, sincere efforts of these bold fire-fighting chaps?  
Or still sadly you lost everything, but proudly can attest 
to their fierce determination as each brave soul did their best.    
Yes, you're all somebody's daughter and you're all somebody's son; 
you are mothers and you’re fathers.  Hard hat heroes everyone. 
 
So I ask you all to join me as we stand and raise a glass 
to the courage and the spirit of this fire fighting, class; 
and I'm sure you'd love to join me as this message we impart,  
"You're such true blue hard hat heroes and we thank you from the heart." 
Yes, you're all somebody's daughter and you're all somebody's son; 
you are mothers and you’re fathers.  Hard hat heroes everyone.

Hold My Hand

d C F F#
Let me hold your little hand
F C d a7
I will show you Neverland

There beneath the redden sky 
Captain Hook have lost his pride

And the daring Peter Pan
wins the race with wind again

So let me hold your little hand
We will bury our fears in sands

Golden sands of emerald seas
Right where fairies make our dreams

Carried by a jolly breaker
Helping boys becoming braver

And the girls like you my love
To move the earth with single stroke

So hold my hand while I can
Walk by you towards the end

End of all the fairy tales
Back where dreams begin to faint

And the life goes on and on
Now your children sing this song

So take their hands as I had your
And don’t look back with remorse

d C F F#
I always be there for you
F C B C d 
In Neverland where dreams becoming truth

(# move to fifth threshold)
