[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 |
