September 4, 1939 Newsy Bits Lyrics

On September fourth, in 'thirty-nine's call

New Zealand's declaration, in the war's sprawl

Governor-General Galway, signing tall

Into the fray, answering the call

Down under's resolve, Menzies' decree

Australia at war, the world to see

Pszczyna's end, in victory's plea

In echoes of conflict, history's plea

Częstochowa's grief, a darkened stain

German soldiers' actions, inhuman pain

1,140 souls lost, in the rain

Facing the horror, in the war's bane

Down under's resolve, Menzies' decree

Australia at war, the world to see

Pszczyna's end, in victory's plea

In echoes of conflict, history's plea

Częstochowa's grief, a darkened stain

German soldiers' actions, inhuman pain

1,140 souls lost, in the rain

Facing the horror, in the war's bane

Down under's resolve, Menzies' decree

Australia at war, the world to see

Pszczyna's end, in victory's plea

In echoes of conflict, history's plea

Nepal's call, in the thunder's might

War declared on Germany, in the night

Egypt's decision, breaking the light

In the diplomatic shadows, a flight

Down under's resolve, Menzies' decree

Australia at war, the world to see

Pszczyna's end, in victory's plea

In echoes of conflict, history's plea

On September fourth, the stories unfold

In the annals of time, both brave and bold

From declarations to tragedy told

In remembrance and honour, their courage we hold

On September fourth, the stories unfold

In the annals of time, both brave and bold

From declarations to tragedy told

In remembrance and honour, their courage we hold
