Wake up Australia
The early birds are singing, the day
is dawning.
The sun in the sky has, kissed you
good morning.
The grass in the garden, is covered
with dew
and a familiar voice, is calling out
to you.
Wake up now, Australia needs you.
Open up the shutters and, greet the
new day.
Pitch in children, and bring home the
harvest
if you don't work then you, won't get
paid.
Plant the seeds and, lay the
foundation.
Brothers and sisters should, all lend
a hand.
It's up to us to, set the example,
so the kids would be proud to, inherit
this land.
Wake up now, Australia needs you.
Open up the shutters and, greet the new day.
Pitch in children, and bring home the harvest
if you don't work then you, won't get paid.
The kookaburra laughs on the edge of
town
as the afternoon sun, completes it's
round.
You've got to spend your day just,
doing your best,
Cause each day is a step on the, road
to success.
Wake up now, Australia needs you.
Open up the shutters and, greet the
new day.
Pitch in children and, bring home the
harvest
if you don't work then you, won't …
get … paid.

Once upon a Planet
Once upon a planet in the history of the world
There was a song that became the favorite tune of every boy and girl
On every land across the globe they sang it with optimism and hope
and everybody that heard it had to sing along.
Oh! Yes and …
Once upon a planet when those children sang their song
They sang it loud and they sang it proud, so it confident and strong
It was a tale by human beings, All about being human being
Come on everybody and help us sing our song.
And we sing …
We are all humans ... humans are we
we live on planet earth as she spins around in the galaxy.
When something's bad we ban it, because we love our planet
it's the home of humanity.
Once upon a planet the oceans were all clean
the weather was fine and the earth was rich and the countryside was green.
The air was fresh and pure, the sky was so much bluer
but we changed that when we came on the scene.
Oh! yes we ....
let our poison waste spill into rivers lakes and seas
we changed the weather patterns when we chopped down all the trees.
We filled the air with our pollution, but there is one solution and we call it ... ECOLOGY!
And we sing ...
We are all humans ... humans are we …
we live on planet earth as she spins around in the galaxy.
When something's bad we ban it, because we love our planet
it's the home of humanity.
Once upon a planet at the edge of the galaxy
at the end of the age of ignorance and the start of a brand new century.
At the birth of a new generation, and the dawn of a one earth nation
of this multi-cultural family.
Oh! yes we ...
put aside our differences and we found we were the same
then we put it all down to experience because nobody is to blame.
When we think global and act local, the world becomes our focal point.
we can heal the earth ... in creations name,
And we sing ...
We are all humans ... humans are we ...
we live on planet earth as she spins around in the galaxy.
When something's bad we ban it, because we love our planet
it's the home of humanity.
(Music slows with a vocal retardation)
Once upon a planet some children sang a song
That soon became so popular the whole world sang along.
It was sung by every nation at a worldwide celebration
By a choir that was ten billion people strong.
And we sang …
We are all humans ... humans are we ...
we live on planet earth as she spins around in the galaxy.
When something's bad we ban it, because we love our planet
it's the home of humanity.
(Repeat chorus)
We are all humans ... humans are we ...
we live on planet earth as she spins around in the galaxy.
When something's bad we ban it, because we love our planet
it's the home … of humanity
(Music slows down with a vocal retardation on the word, …
Hu … ooo! ooo! maaaaan … I … I … I … I … tee … ee … ee … ee … ee … ee … eeeee!)

This World
This world is yours and this world is mine.
From the age of love, till the end of time.
We’re gonna make this planet a safer place to live.
We’ve taken away so much but now we’ve got so much to give
We’re doing it for the children … we’re doing it right now baby.
This world is yours and this world is mine.
From the age of love, till the end of time.
This world is yours and this world is mine.
what we do now, will determine our time.
I was led to led to believe we inherit the Earth
To exploit and control for whatever it’s worth.
If the truth were to be known it is the other way around.
It belongs to the children, let’s keep it safe and sound.
This world is yours and this world is mine.
From the age of love, till the end of time.
Planet earth is in a mess, apathy means you don’t care less.
The teen tribe is on the move, teaching the old world to get in the groove.
Take it over baby … take it over right now.
This world is yours and this world is mine.
From the age of love, till the end of time.
This world is yours and this world is mine.
what we do now, will determine our time.
This world is yours and this world is mine.
From the age of love, till the end of time.

The Age of Luxury
Oh! in another hundred years from now baby what will people say?
How will history judge us for the things we did today?
We’re killing the world that made us, faster than she can grow Oh! Oh! Yeah!
But I can’t tell you anything, that you, don’t already know.
This is the end … the end of the age of luxury
This could be the end … the end for you and me.
And can’t you see?
Everybody’s talking about a new world order in the land of democracy.
But if we don’t act now we deserve what we get in the twenty first century.
We’ve got to clean up the mess we’ve been making, if we are ever to survive.
Well you can praise the lord above if you want to
thank your lucky stars you are alive.
This is the end, the end of the age of luxury.
This could be the end, the end for you and me
and can’t you see, or a new beginning.
Yeah! to the twenty first century.
While there’s a chance of winning, come on let’s make some history
and it’s a new beginning … Yeah!
We’ve got to be free … we’ve got to be free.

Reason or Rhyme
When I look up at the stars in the evening sky
you know it makes me feel so small.
Then my thoughts begin to wander, and it makes me wonder
if there’s a reason for it all.
The secrets of life are a mystery and I suppose we will never ever know.
If there’s a purpose for creation, it’s a fascination
but I guess that is just how it goes
So sit back and relax, come on and check out the show.
The world is a stage and we are the actors,
in the greatest production of all time.
If you don’t understand, the law of the land
believe me that is not a crime.
Cause there’s no reason, no reason or rhyme.
The law of the land, is the law of man
we are exempt from the laws of nature so it seems
or else then, how could it be, the devastation you see.
Will you heed the call before the earth begins to scream?
The rednecks and the greenies are at loggerheads
and there are points to go in favour of each side.
If there is common ground, you can be sure it will be found
beneath the feet of every person, from both sides.
We are in this together, how ever the truth may divide.
The world is a stage and we are the actors …
Repeat first verse.
The world is a stage and we are the actors,
in the greatest production of all time
If you don’t understand the law of the land
believe me that is not a crime. Cause there’s no reason, no reason or rhyme.
Yes there’s no reason, no reason or rhyme.

STOP
One day you're gonna stop. You're gonna look in the mirror.
Oh! and that child you were won't be there anymore.
But in that mirror you will see, the person you've grown up to be
and you won't be who you used to be before ...
You know the summer changes into the autumn
Oh! And the winter changes into spring,
When the night is gone and the sun comes up
It throws a new light on everything.
With my pen in my hand, I stare at the paper.
With every page I write another tree is gone.
The school of life is a never ending lesson
About the way that we should learn to carry on.
The summer changes into the autumn
Oh! And the winter changes into spring,
When the night is gone and the sun comes up
It throws a new light on everything.
The seconds turn into the minutes, oh!
and the hours turn into days,
the weeks, the months and all the years.
Life is a game so come on everybody let’s play.
You know the summer changes into the autumn
Oh! And the winter changes into spring,
When the night is gone and the sun comes up
It throws a new light on everything.
One day you're gonna stop. Your'e gonna look in the mirror.
Oh! and that child you were won't be there anymore.
But in that mirror you will see, the person youv'e grown up to be
and you won't be who you used to be before ...

Now you are a woman and I am a … man.
Oh! we've been loving each other since, time began.
Ah! ha, but you've got your life and I've got ... mine
and that's how it will be until the, end of time.
Of one thing, I am certain, and of that you, can be sure.
You make me feel good, oh! yeah, you make me feel so good.
You make me feel good, oh! yeah, you make me … feel … so … good.
Ah! please don't say you will, love me ... forever.
it'll take more than a vow to, keep us together.
You and I were, born for each other.

Of one thing I am certain, and of that you, can be sure.
You make me feel good, oh! yeah, you make me, feel so good.
You make me feel good, oh! yeah, you make me … feel so good.
Now you may think that, I am old fashioned.

Of one thing, I am certain, and of that you, can be sure.
You make me feel good, oh! yeah, you make me, feel so good.
You make me feel good, oh! yeah, you make me … feel … so … good.

The Dance of a Thousand Skeletons
I can feel, the winds of change.
Blowing cold, against my shoulder.
I am alone, on the road to glory.
At the gates, of the great unknown.
I was the King of the Gypsies
at the dance of a thousand skeletons.
You said listen they're playing our song
and then they did the death march again.
But there was romance in the air
and I would not change that for anything
if we could do it all over again
that would remain exactly the same.
There was romance in the air
at the dance of a thousand skeletons.
Ever since the night that I met you
I have never been the same.
I am the bastard son of a poor man.
You are the Judges daughter.
We went looking for a dream
that was never meant to be.
But when I was, laying down there beside you
I got lost in a sweet sensation
I gave myself to you and you gave yourself to me.
There was a time I thought I knew you.
But then you became a stranger.
I thought I knew you, way back when and so long ago.
I thought I knew you, but then we both started changing.
I thought I knew you, but I guess that it only goes to show.
Now I'm standing by the campfire
and I'm thinking of you.
Flames are rising, into the starlight baby ... but you're not here.
There was a time I thought I knew you.
but then you became a stranger.
I thought I knew you, way back when and so long ago.
I thought I knew you, but then we both started changing.
I thought I knew you, but I guess that it only goes to show.

See You in the Summer.
Standing on the shoreline, looking out to sea
I saw you in the distance, but you didn't see me.
Sunset behind you, the wind in your hair
you were pretty as a picture, free and easy, without a care.
We made the sunshine, through the pouring rain
we had a good time, but nothing will ever remain the same.
Palm tree's are swaying, in my memories
there are no words for saying,
the very special way that you made me feel.
We made the sunshine, through the pouring rain
we had a good time, but nothing will ever remain the same.
See you in the summer, same time next year
See you in the summer, next time around, I'm moving on, I'm moving on.
See you in the summer, same time next year
See you in the summer, next time around, I'm moving on, I'm moving on.
Don't you look so sad now, and I won't take long
I'll be back before you notice, I was even gone.
Beyond the blue horizon, and the open sea,
Like a nomad I wander, I drift like the sand in the shifting breeze.
We made the sunshine, through the pouring rain
we had a good time, but nothing will ever remain the same.
See you in the summer, same time next year
See you in the summer, next time around, I'm moving on, I'm moving on.
See you in the summer, same time next year
See you in the summer, next time around, I'm moving on, I'm moving on.
See you in the summer, same time next year
See you in the summer, next time around, I'm moving on, I'm moving on.
See you in the summer, same time next year
See you in the summer, next time around, I'm moving on, I'm moving on.
