I may not always succeed in making a difference, but I will go to my grave knowing I at least tried.

" Life Is Like A River" by Slim Dusty.


Now in this life I've gained my Knowledge
And for it I've had to pay
Though I've never been to college
I have heard the poets say.

That life is like a mighty river
Floating on from day to day
Men are vessels launched upon it
Sometimes wrecked and cast away.

So do your best for one another
Making life a pleasant dream
help your weary worn out brother
pulling hard against the stream

We never know what lies before us
So old ways be staunch and strong
Lift your hearts into this chorus
As we swiftly go along.

There's many the right good hearted fellow
Many a noble minded man
Finds himself in shallow water
Then boys help him if you can.

Do your best for one another
Making life a pleasant dream
Help your weary worn out brother
Pulling hard against the stream.

Yes life is like a mighty river
Flowing on from day to day
Men are vessels launched upon it
Some times wrecked and cast away.

Nice song Duncan, but that wasn't about selling off our Country or dredging up the Great Barrier Reef ... :(

You've sung a sad song Manfred. Goes to the tune of Yellow Rose of Texas if you do the chorus after each verse. :) ( orright I couldn't think of an Aussie tune )
