2000年第27届悉尼奥运会歌曲:Under Southern Skies

 

Under Southern Skies
Nikki Webster       

There's a peace in our hearts and a hope in our hands
We're a family of children. We come from many different lands
Our time is just beginning, our race is yet to run
But if you will take us with you then we have already won

Under the southern skies together in this land
Every voice in celebration¹, a family hand in hand
Under the southern skies as one we rise and turn our eyes to see
All the wonder of the future in a world of harmony²

There's a great spirit rising from the desert to the sea
As it sweeps across this southern land
It calls to you and me. Where the dreamers are the dreaming
We're the fates³ of things yet to come,
Every child can be a hero if our world could live as one

Under the southern skies together in this land
Every voice in celebration, a family hand in hand
Under the southern skies as one we rise and turn our eyes to see
All the wonder of the future in a world of harmony (Repeat 3 times)

All the wonder of the future in a world of harmony.
