THE LOST CONTINENT
Forget yesterdays
Live entirely for today,
Plan for tomorrow!
Stop all your crying
Get on with being alive.
Live life to the full
The past is long forgotten,
A lost continent.
Forget all of your hatred
Become one with us.
Exist for today
Forget the lost continent,
Just live day to day.
Don't linger in yester-times,
Be Australian!
THE END
