Lyrics:

In the year of '39 assembled here the VolunteersIn the days when lands were fewHere the ship sailed out into the blue
and sunny mornThe sweetest sight ever seen.And the night followed dayAnd the story tellers sayThat the score brave souls
insideFor many a lonely day sailed across the milky seasNe'er looked back, never feared, never cried.Don't you hear my call
though you're many years awayDon't you hear me calling youWrite your letters in the sandFor the day I take your handIn the
land that our grandchildren knew.In the year of '39 came a ship in from the blueThe Volunteers came home that dayAnd they
bring good news of a world so newly bornThough their hearts so heavily weighFor the earth is old and grey, to a new home we'l
l awayBut my love this cannot beFor so many years have gone though I'm older but a yearYour mother's eyes in your eyes cry t
o me.Don't you hear my call though you're many years awayDon't you hear me calling youAll the letters in the sand cannot he
al me like your handFor my lifeStill aheadPity me.
