6. My Grandfather’s hat, it stands on the wall
We Will Remember Them
(My Grandfather’s Hat) Words and Music by Andrew Chinn
My Grandfather’s hat, it stands on the wall
As a sign of a man who answered the call
Greater love hath no man than to lay down his life,
To lay down his life, for the sake of us all.

7. And now every year I take the hat down
To honour that man and give thanks for our land
A land of great beauty a land safe and free
I pray and give thanks I sing proudly and stand

8. For a land that they loved for a land they called their home
For a land of their heart, a land that was their own
For a land of peace and a land of hope
We will remember them
Lest we forget

9. Now every year as the leaves start to fall
We gather together and march one and all
We march to remember those who gave their life
Life that we may live, live life to the full

10. For a land that they loved for a land they called their home
For a land of their heart, a land that was their own
For a land of peace and a land of hope
We will remember them
Lest we forget

11. And we gather around this cross and falling leaves
And I hold that hat close to my heart
And give thanks for those who gave their lives for peace
A gift for our land a gift to live free

12. For a land that they loved for a land they called their home
For a land of their heart, a land that was their own
For a land of peace and a land of hope
We will remember them
Lest we forget

13. as we that are left grow old
They shall not grow old
as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn
At the going down of the sun
And in the morning
We will remember them
Lest we forget

14. REFLECTION

15. Pledge of
Remembrance

16. Australian soldiers hear this pledge
Your flag flies in the sun
And now we take a minute to remember what you’ve done
When you went away to battle,
You were proud as proud can be
And you did it for your country, yes, you flew the flag for me.

17. Now we live our life with freedom
When we work and when we play
For that, my heart says ‘Thank you’
on this special day
And as we go, we take the words that sing Australia’s song

18. "I am young and I am worthy, I am brave and I am strong
In the face of any challenge,
I will strive to rise above
I deserve this opportunity to live,
to learn, to love
I can truly make a difference; my path is up to me
And this is my commitment – be the best that I can be.”

They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old
Age shall not weary them nor the years condemn.
