This song was written and originally recorded by The Choir,
the one band we could all agree on as an FTJ favorite. This is our unsolicited tribute.
see what sparkles in our world
never mind the stars
mercy is the silver pearl
vengeance is not ours
golden thistles bright enough
to render greedy nations blind
but Jesus buried diamonds in
a land where love is rare to find
shovel go deep
heart be true
chase the kangaroo
proud men build holy shrines
wise men wonder
Bugs Bunny dug to China
i guess i'll go down under
choir choir world on fire
grace and circumstances dire
hydrants fail and flames surround
time for going underground
you may find me in a trench
racing from the falling sky
if Sydney is my sanctuary
guess i'll dig until i die
shovel go deep
heart be true
chase the kangaroo
stagger through and curse the dark
or light the midnight oil?
a land of milk and honey lies
beneath this northern soil
shovel go deep
heart be true
chase the kangaroo
