In this proud land we grew up strong I was taught to fight, taught to win I never thought I could fail
No fight left or so it seems I am a man whose dreams have all deserted I've changed my face, I've changed my name But no-one wants you when you lose
I know you can make it good
Though I saw it all around Never thought that I could be affected Thought that we'd be last to go It is so strange the way things turn
Drove the night toward my home The place that I was born, on the lakeside As daylight broke, I saw the earth The trees had burned down to the ground
We don't need much of anything "˜Cause somewhere there's a place
Going to stand on that bridge
Tried hard to settle down For every job, so many men
We're proud of who you are You know its never been easy "˜Cause I believe there's a place There's a place where we belong More from Natalie Bassingthwaighte
