Lời bài hát: Company B. Keating! The Musical. Ma(m)bo.

PAUL KEATING:
There's a tale I heard
Of an island man
Tough and undeterred, he said Haven't you heard?
This land - our land!

We belong
That's what the High Court said
So when you sing this song, you gotta sing it for Ed.
For Eddie.
Ready?

KEATING:
Speak the truth and make it so!

And if we follow this philosophy
Demand a land beyond compare
Then girt by faith and generosity
We'll all combine to redefine a beauty rich and rare
In joyful strains then let us sing...

ALL:
Advance Australia...
