      [Verse] 
       
      When we first moved here to build the farm 
       
      The sky seemed wide the land so warm 
       
      But things went crook as seasons changed 
       
      Our dreams of ease felt rearranged 
       
      [Verse 2] 
       
      The soil was tough the rain was shy 
       
      Days turned long under pale sky 
       
      We worked and toiled through sweat and storm 
       
      Hoping one day this land would transform 
       
      [Chorus] 
       
      Out in the bush where hopes run thin 
       
      We find our strength from deep within 
       
      Together we fight to make it right 
       
      Under the Southern Cross at night 
       
      [Verse 3] 
       
      The wind it howls through broken fence 
       
      It tests our will our common sense 
       
      We plant each seed with faith and tears 
       
      Through drought and flood through many fears 
       
      [Bridge] 
       
      But in the end our roots grow deep 
       
      With every struggle every steep 
       
      We hold the dream we've built with care 
       
      In this rough land this love we share 
       
      [Chorus] 
       
      Out in the bush where hopes run thin 
       
      We find our strength from deep within 
       
      Together we fight to make it right 
       
      Under the Southern Cross at night    |
