Great Land
Verse 1
In 79 we all met
Pioneers in our time
Once strangers to each other
The very first of our kind
Verse 2
We were taught the ways of animals
Of plants and rocks and stars
Our tutors were new and varied
Our leaders came from lands afar
Chorus
It was one love that brought us together
It was the love of this great land
This great land gave us the passion
And put us where we now stand
Verse 3
We went north to take on the pound
Slept under the stars swam in the creeks
Deep in those valleys we were bound
Friendships for others to seek
Verse 4
We sailed south to an island
The winter rain tested us
We prevailed our bonds tied tight
The great adventure of learning had begun
Chorus
It was one love that brought us together
It was the love of this great land
This great land gave us the passion
And put us where we now stand
Verse 5
For two years we studied this great land
Our knowledge reached new bounds
Then as quickly as we first met
We left new adventures to be found
Verse 6
The years may march and memories fade
Bonds we forged remain fresh and true
The passion to do still burning strong
Many years on can claim very few
Chorus
It was one love that brought us together
It was the love of this great land
This great land gave us the passion
And put us where we now stand
