Lyrics as sung in the video

Two hundred years beneath a southern sky From the dust of the stockyards to the cities rising high Our old boys sailed with courage in their veins From Gallipoli shores to the Kokoda rain Through the drought and the fire, through the flood and the pain We pull together and we build again From the red dirt roads to the ocean blue There's a spirit in this country that'll carry us through Yeah, we ain't perfect, but we know our home From the crowded streets to the great unknown **We the people still stand tall** Backs to the wall, but we won't fall Southern Cross burning over this land From the Coral Sea to the desert sand When Australia calls, you know we'll ride With a battler's heart and an Aussie pride And wherever we go, there's one thing we know We stand together in the green and gold Main streets changing, factories gone But the bloke on the tools still carries on Farmers watching an empty sky Truckies rolling through the dead of night There's a fire burning in these country towns In the miners, the nurses, the boots on the ground We don't go looking for a bloody fight But don't mistake our kindness for a lack of might No king, no suit gonna tell us who We are beneath that Southern Cross of blue **We the people still stand tall** Backs to the wall, but we won't fall Southern Cross burning over this land From the Coral Sea to the desert sand When Australia calls, you know we'll ride With a battler's heart and an Aussie pride And wherever we go, there's one thing we know We stand together in the green and gold You can knock us down You can call us names But you'll never kill the spirit That carried us through the flames From ANZAC Cove to Kokoda's track When our mates need help, we've got their back From the cattle stations to the harbour towns The heart of Australia still won't back down **We the people still stand tall** Hear that southern thunder call Under the stars, under skies of blue This ancient land still carries us through Raise your glass underneath the sky For the ones still here and the ones who've died For every generation, young and old We'll carry Australia in the green and gold Yeah, we still stand Side by side Under the Southern Cross With Australian pride **Green and gold** **Green and gold** Forever home Forever bold
