Pushin' ever westward, across the great divide
Beyond the darling river, towards the outback sky
The lawless and the brave, searching a dream
When all they found was sand and stone, where rivers once had been
They tried to follow nomads, like ghosts in desert dreams,
And suffered in a sunburnt land Down in the last frontier
And they sent them from the motherlands,
Into the greatest fear
To live and die for freedoms cry,
Down in the last frontier
A drover rides in search of work, across the sweeping plains
A farmer kneels in a hungry church, as his children pray for rain
Back in a land across the sea, they found another war
They asked the Anzacs to believe in what their fighting for
And they sent them to another land,
Into the greatest fear
To fight and die for freedoms cry,
And for the last frontier
People in the luckly land, who searched for paradise
Are reaching out for something more, and they don't believe their lies
The promises of hope and work, still ringing in their ears
The hungry and the homeless cry,
Down in the last frontier
And they sent them to another land,
Into the greatest fear
To live and die for freedoms cry,
And for the last frontier
The promises of hope and work,
still ringing in their ears
The hungry and the homeless cry,
Down in the last frontier
