From Down Under’s beating heart
A leader rose to play his part
In times of peace in times of strife
Guided us through days of life
[Verse 2]
With words like lightning clear and bright
He brought a beacon in the night
From dusty seats to marble halls
He stood up strong he heard the calls
[Chorus]
Oh Robert Menzies took a stand
For this wide and sunburnt land
He held the torch he led the way
Kept our fears and doubts at bay
[Verse 3]
In parliament his voice rang true
A vision clear like morning dew
Not just a man but like a guide
With every speech a nation's pride
[Bridge]
Through wars and peace he led us on
Until the night replaced the dawn
With strength and hope that never waned
In Menzies' name our glory gained
[Chorus]
Oh Robert Menzies took a stand
For this wide and sunburnt land
He held the torch he led the way
Kept our fears and doubts at bay
