If I were to write our National Anthem

At the time that Advance Australia Fair  was written, it was an era where the English felt that Aboriginal people were animals, that only white people were welcomed to this new land called Australia.  In the third verse when it says "For those who've come across the seas we've boundless plains to share".  Did not actually mean to include any of the following nations that we now have in our country, Asian, Middle Eastern and African. 

But now thankfully we live in a multi cultural county, it's a beautiful country, with lots of different coloured faces, cultures and languages that fill it.  So it makes me wonder is the current national anthem really that relevant?

I recently talked to a person on twitter about this, and they questioned what would my national anthem include.  I said that it would include, unconditonal love, acceptance and something else that I can't remember.  So I've had a go.  I've written my version of what I think the national anthem should include.  Anyone want to come up with the tune? Maybe we can sell it to the Prime Minister her self.

Sam's version

Upon the ships we came

From foreign land afar

With guns and brute

And death upon our hearts

But time has changed

And we have grown

Acceptance we now feel

We live upon a land where unconditional love is sown

Faces of different colours

Cultures many that there are

Foods of every kind

As people come from near and far

Lets share this land

Of rich and wealth

Beauty and Love

Education and Health

This is our land

On which we call home

Australia, we stand together

As one and one alone.

We recognise our faults

We see the past

Now lets look to the future

And share the love at last.

Well that's my national anthem, what do you all think?  What would your national anthem be? Should we change it at all? what would you include?

Love you all

Sam
