A bit of the big World out there i have seen
Since last i saw bluebells on the ditch of bohreen
When the hawthorns were in their white blooms of the May
And the wildflowers were in the old fields far away
This is going back in springs twenty seven ago
And time that does age all it has become my foe
Yet so few years to live and so much for to see
Like is said time does not wait it did not wait for me
In Summer in south west Victoria on Australia Day
The sweet scent of grass in a nearby paddock recently mowed for hay
Such nice weather for late January with scarcely any breeze
And a temperature high for the day of twenty five degrees
In parks in every village and town and city in Australia today
People assemble to listen to the speeches and to hear the bands play
Where people of many different cultures and races to party do meet
The sounds of laughter, song and music to the ears always sweet
But i like the quiet place where Nature's beauty abound
Where the song of a bird is the loudest sound
Where the nearest person is not anywhere near
On Australia's biggest party day of the year.
