name of the song:under the southern skies singer:Nikki Webster time:2000 Sydney Olympic Games words: Verse 1: There's a peace in our hearts and a hope in our hands, We're the family of children; we come from many different lands. Our time is just beginning; our race is yet to run, But if you will take us with you, then we have already won. Chorus: Under the southern skies, Together in this land, Every voice in celebration, A family hand in hand! Under the southern skies, As one we rise, And turn our eyes to see All the wonder of the future In a world of harmony. Verse 2: There's a great spirit rising from the desert to the sea. As it sweeps across this southern land it calls to you and me: We're the dreamers and the dreaming; we're the face of things yet to come. Every child can be a hero if our world can live as one. Chorus: Under the southern skies, Together in this land, Every voice in celebration, A family hand in hand! Under the southern skies, As one we rise, And turn our eyes to see All the wonder of the future In a world of harmony. (Repeat)
