Proud to be a Lion
[Chorus]
Proud to be a Lion
Here Down Under
Side by side
We stand and wonder
How a simple smile can lift the load
From the outback heat to the coastal road
Leading to Serve
Serving to Lead
You are the Key to what we can be
All as one
When the day is done, and the work’s been fun
I’m proud to be a Lion
Proud to be a Lion (oh yeah)
[Verse 2]
When the river climbs past the levee line
When the winds tear down old gum trees
We roll up our sleeves in the mud and rain
Cook hot meals for everyone, we serve
Packing up boxes in a country hall
Checking on neighbours, one and all
From cyclone clouds to bushfire scars
If you’re feeling lost and alone
We’re never far
'Cause where there’s a need, there’s a Lion
[Chorus]
Proud to be a Lion
Here Down Under
Side by side
We stand and wonder
How a simple smile can lift the load
From the outback heat to the coastal road
Leading to Serve
Serving to Lead
You are the Key to what we can be
All as one
When the day is done, and the work’s been fun
I’m proud to be a Lion
Proud to be a Lion (hey)
[Bridge]
From Perth to Cairns
And all in between
Many different voices we sing the same song
You are the key, that keeps us strong
Helping hands where hearts belong
[Chorus]
Proud to be a Lion
Here Down Under
Side by side
We stand and wonder
How a simple smile can lift the load
From the outback heat to the coastal road
Leading to Serve
Serving to Lead
You are the Key to what we can be
All as one
When the day is done, and the work’s been fun
I’m proud to be a Lion
Proud to be a Lion (oh yeah)
Proud to be a Lion
You are the Key (you are the key!)
My friend
You are the Key (you are the key!)
My friend
You are the Key to what we can be (you are the key!)
