Joining hearts and hands and ancestral twine,

 Spirit bird he creaks and groans

        F
Soldier on,
                       Am
soldier on my good countrymen
                          C
Keep fighting for your culture now
                           G
Keep fighting for your land
                                   F
I know it's been thousands of years
And I feel your hurt
                     Am
And I know it's wrong  and you feel you've been chained
And broken and burned
C
 And those beautiful old people
                    G
Those wise old souls
Have been ground down for far too long
       F
By that spineless man
That greedy man
     Am
That heartless man
                    C
Deceiving man, that government hand
Taking blood and land,
      G
taking blood and land
And still they can
         F                                        Am
But your dreaming and your warrior spirit lives on
                         C
And it is so so so strong
In the earth, in the trees, in the rocks
       G
In the water,
in your blood and in the air we breathe
       F
Soldier on,
                          Am
soldier on on my good countrymen
                           C
Keep fighting for your children now
                           G
Keep fighting for your land

 Give it time and we wonder why
