eCon One Musical News - September 4, 1939 Newsy Bits Lyrics

On September fourth, in 'thirty-nine's call
New Zealand's declaration, in the war's sprawl
Governor-General Galway, signing tall
Into the fray, answering the call
Down under's resolve, Menzies' decree
Australia at war, the world to see
Pszczyna's end, in victory's plea
In echoes of conflict, history's plea
Częstochowa's grief, a darkened stain
German soldiers' actions, inhuman pain
1,140 souls lost, in the rain
Facing the horror, in the war's bane
Down under's resolve, Menzies' decree
Australia at war, the world to see
Pszczyna's end, in victory's plea
In echoes of conflict, history's plea
Częstochowa's grief, a darkened stain
German soldiers' actions, inhuman pain
1,140 souls lost, in the rain
Facing the horror, in the war's bane
Down under's resolve, Menzies' decree
Australia at war, the world to see
Pszczyna's end, in victory's plea
In echoes of conflict, history's plea
Nepal's call, in the thunder's might
War declared on Germany, in the night
Egypt's decision, breaking the light
In the diplomatic shadows, a flight
Down under's resolve, Menzies' decree
Australia at war, the world to see
Pszczyna's end, in victory's plea
In echoes of conflict, history's plea
On September fourth, the stories unfold
In the annals of time, both brave and bold
From declarations to tragedy told
In remembrance and honour, their courage we hold
On September fourth, the stories unfold
In the annals of time, both brave and bold
From declarations to tragedy told
In remembrance and honour, their courage we hold
