lyrics

Lockheed Hudson Mark II Bomber
from Melbourne to Canberra
from the air you wouldn't know
that the world is at war
just another mild winter
the snow surrenders from the highest hills

how did you get here?
from a dream you left the farm for
to the sky you guard
boys at your command

and this morning you arranged
for yourself and the war minister,
the chief of staff
and the people around you
to make the trip in a beautiful new plane
from the U.S.A
you've been waiting
to get your hands on
but wait until Canberra
to talk about the war
leave until Canberra
all that's looming over

when you were twenty years old and shot down
only a buggered arm to tell
you knew it couldn't always end so well
meeting the ground

but once you have your wings
it's hard to keep your head down
you ran for office in your district
you put an airstrip on the farm

and you taught your brother to fly
he taught his wife
and she flew them on a sunday in thirty five
right into the ground

now you look at this perfect machine
it took another war to give it its wings
and you've got boys in England
ready to do anything
like you were
when you were seventeen

take this young pilot, he calls you sir
he says the landing is hard to do
but if you wanted the controls
he would do as you tell him to
and who knows
if you asked for the controls?

what will you see, what will you see
when the plane comes down?
you believe in God
but you really fear the ground

and it calls you now
