Flowing

You

To

From

Your

You
bring
our
people
close
together,
A

Different

But
beside
your
flowing
waters,
We
are
stronger
as
a
team.
You
never
ask
where
we
come
from,
You
flow
beneath

bright
sun.
You
cross
the
borders,

hand,
Connecting
people
across
the
land.
Let
your
waters
teach
us
peace,
Let
all
hatred
and
fighting
cease.
Let
our
hearts
come
close
together,
Let
our
love
flow
on
forever.

Victoria

roars,
A
voice
that
reaches
distant
shores.
Your
mist
rises
into
the

A
wonder
that

The

Children

With

And

more.
When

We

each
other
through
the
pain.
We

With

across
the
land.
No

can
divide
your
song,
Your
flowing
rhythm
keeps
us
strong.
From
every
village,
every
town,
Your
waters
never
let
us
down.
Let
us
choose
love,
let
us
choose
peace,
Let

will
we,
Together
strong,
