The call for the heroes was sent around,
Australian, New Zealand boys and men were adventure bound,
They never gave up, they fought for us all,
Speaking we “LOVE YOU” and many more.

The trenches were cold and soldiers were worn,
The gunfire was held down from dusk to dawn,
From the moment they landed in ANZAC cove,
For peace and happiness, they all strove.
