Just like her mother and grandmother before
A young bride waits for her husband at war
History repeats, a new generation
Women left behind, for the sake of the nation.
Days and weeks pass with news that never comes
News from husbands, brothers, fathers, sons
While women wait
While women wait
Men of Anzac sent to keep us safe
Children cry for the human race
While women wait
While women wait
Six months pass, a baby boy and still she waits
The fear grows now with two lives at stake
Days lived in dread of that knock at the door
Nights even worse, then comes that call
We regret to inform you, the rest is a blur
Her life forever changed by five simple words
While women wait
While women wait
Men of Anzac sent to keep us safe
Children cry for the human race
While women wait
While women wait
Bridge
For every heartache, for every loss
A new star shines in the Southern Cross.
While women wait
While women wait
Men of Anzac sent to keep us safe
Children cry for the human race
While women wait
While women wait
Children cry for the human race
While women wait
While women wait
