Verse
1
I get up in the morning, before the passing of the night,
Maybe today will bring good fortune and everything will go all right,
My land it stretches out as far, as far as the eye can see,
There’s not much grass, left for stock round here, like there oughta be,
Chorus:
Sometimes it’s hard to keep your head up, when you feel your spirits broke,
But Aussie pride and determination, sometimes is the only thing that gives you hope,
Aussie farmers are a special breed, no matter the hardship they’ll lend a hand,
It’s ‘she’ll be right’ and ‘no worries mate’, "tomorrows a new day on this bloody land’,
Verse
2
I’ve worked this land all my life like my father and his father in their day,
Our hands are callused and often bloodied but we live our lives this way,
A haze rises up like a fog from the sun as it scorches down,
And we’re always chasing water but we only find cracks on the ground,
Chorus:
Sometimes it’s hard to keep your head up, when you feel your spirits broke,
But Aussie pride and determination, sometimes is the only thing that gives you hope,
Aussie farmers are a special breed, no matter the hardship they’ll lend a hand,
It’s ‘she’ll be right’ and ‘no worries mate’, "tomorrows a new day on this bloody land,
Verse 3 (spoken)
Our stock is lean, their coats are rough and the heat makes it hard to breathe,
The choking dust mixed with the sweat makes for little chance for reprieve,
My land was once a mixture of livestock and wheat plains,
But without the lifeblood of water the life continues to drain,
Chorus: (repeat)
Sometimes it’s hard to keep your head up, when you feel your spirits broke,
But Aussie pride and determination, sometimes is the only thing that gives you hope,
Aussie farmers are a special breed, no matter the hardship they’ll lend a hand,
It’s ‘she’ll be right’ and ‘no worries mate’, "tomorrows a new day on this bloody land,
