Lyrics
Let us share this journey today,
Yeah, let’s share this journey today.
It’s a proud, proud day in Australia,
It’s the day for us all to make a stand.
We’re gonna come together to recognise
the original people of this land.
Yeah, let’s share this journey today.
It’s a brand new day in Australia;
A day to truly recognise.
Gonna share this journey all the way,
We’re gonna share this journey today.
Yeah, let’s share this journey today.
It’s a proud, proud day in Australia,
It’s the day for us all to make a stand.
We’re gonna come together to recognise
the original people of this land.
