lyrics

As kids we’d climb high on the mountain
Trails through trees, reach for the sky
Then looking down our golden valley
Feelin’ small, just you and I
The king did call across the ocean
All ye good men, freedom is nigh
We’re marching on, faith and devotion
Feelin’ tall, just don’t ask why.
Chorus:
(So)Take me back, (you big green) mountain (coda: memorial mountain)
Take me home across the sea (coda: Back to my hills of Spallum’cheen)
Just one more walk, before the snow falls (coda: down where the cross lies)
And I shall have you there by me.
She waits for me, home in the valley
They pray for me, ‘ere I am gone
We were good men, crossing that channel
Thy will be done, daughter and son.
