Song by Company B<br /><br>

PAUL KEATING:<br>

There's a tale I heard<br>

Of an island man<br>

Tough and undeterred, he said "Haven't you heard?<br>

This land - our land!"<br>

<br>

"We belong"<br>

That's what the High Court said<br>

So when you sing this song, you gotta sing it for Ed.<br>

For Eddie.<br>

Ready?<br>

<br>

BAND:<br>

Ready!<br>

Mabo!<br>

Mabo!<br>

Mabo!<br>

<br>

KEATING:<br>

What's that name?<br>

<br>

BAND:<br>

Mabo!<br>

<br>

KEATING:<br>

For the Meriam people<br>

<br>

BAND:<br>

Mabo!<br>

<br>

KEATING:<br>

It was very unequal<br>

<br>

BAND:<br>

Mabo!<br>

<br>

KEATING:<br>

Was it totally legal? Oh no!<br>

Watch me now!<br>

KEATING:<br>

KEATING:<br>

Native title<br>

<br>

BAND:<br>

Mabo!<br>

<br>

KEATING:<br>

It's alive and vital<br>

<br>

BAND:<br>

Mabo!<br>

<br>

KEATING:<br>

Speak the truth and make it so!<br>

<br>

And if we follow this philosophy<br>

Demand a land beyond compare<br>

Then girt by faith and generosity<br>

We'll all combine to redefine a beauty rich and rare<br>

In joyful strains then let us sing...<br>

<br>

ALL:<br>

Advance Australia...<br>

<br>

[Thanks to Jess for lyrics]<br>
