Keating! movie - Ma(m)bo lyrics
rate meSong by Company B<br /><br>
PAUL KEATING:<br>
There's a tale I heard<br>
Of an island man<br>
Tough and undeterred, he said "Haven't you heard?<br>
This land - our land!"<br>
<br>
"We belong"<br>
That's what the High Court said<br>
So when you sing this song, you gotta sing it for Ed.<br>
For Eddie.<br>
Ready?<br>

<br>
KEATING:<br>
Speak the truth and make it so!<br>
<br>
And if we follow this philosophy<br>
Demand a land beyond compare<br>
Then girt by faith and generosity<br>
We'll all combine to redefine a beauty rich and rare<br>
In joyful strains then let us sing...<br>
<br>
ALL:<br>
Advance Australia...<br>
<br>
