《Under Southern Skies》歌詞欣賞：

演唱：妮基?韋伯斯特

There is a peace in our hearts

And a hope in our hands

We're a family of children

we come from many different lands

Our time is just beginning,

Our race is yet to run,

But if you would take us with you

Then we have already won

Under the southern skies

Together in this land

Every voice in celebration

A family hand in hand under the southern skies

As one we rise

And turn our eyes to see

All the wonders of the future in a world of harmony

There's a great spirit rising

From the desert to the sea

As it sweeps across the southern land

It comes to you and me

Where the dreamers are the dreaming,

Where the race of the edge yet to run,

Every child can be a hero

If our world could live as one
