    To the thousands of your fellow Australians who answered the cry of anguish from my homeland on Sept 11, 2001 Thank You.To the families and mates of the 41 who never saw their homeland again.. Thank you will never be enough for they shed their blood in defense of MY home and family. My gratitude and my prayers go with them.

    I'm not even Australian and this is one of the most nostalgic songs I have heard. I remember singing this in primary... This is so beautiful.

      +Peter Hay not only as a Soldier, I'm an Airman as well. I'm pretty sure Seamen as well as all Australians would rather this as the national anthem.

    • @JBM425
      @JBM425 7 лет назад +8

      I don't know if it works as an anthem. As an American, I would favorably compare this with the Lee Greenwood hit, "God Bless the USA" in that neither is really an anthem, but both capture the spirit of the respective countries. I enjoy hearing this, especially when Bruce Woodley sings his creation.
