Australia's Loss of Innocence


We were as far away as the evil of this world would show,
We're now a minute away from what the world will know,
As that cowardly imbecile inflicted his hostages with fear,
The loss of a nations innocence and a way of life held dear,

Lessons must be learned, why this evil man walked free,
Psychopathic offences a legacy our court system let be,
This is too high a price to pay, our spirit should be as one,
We can only look back in horror, what now can't be undone,

I think of the sheer terror those poor souls trapped within,
Ordinary people with ordinary lives, a fight for survival begin,
Police did what they could, having all hostages safety at stake,
Sydney came of age today, this evil ideology a must to break,

We're a peace loving nation, supporting what's right and true,
We're a country of tolerance, with a character being true blue,
No longer naive, the pain of Bali and Sydney etched in our soul,
Our strength of "mateship" means you attack one you attack all.
