My thoughts are of Australia
 Land most covid-19 free
 My heart yearns for Australia
 The place I’d rather be
 For to the north we languish
 Now that winter has come
 Amidst a pandemic of anguish
 Where our suffering is done
 As each dawn’s fresh horizon 
 Offers more sadness, fear and dread
 I long for home Australia
 Where a rising sun means health instead
 And with each passing morning
 As the hospitals here do fill
 The sights and sounds of mourning
 The streets and air do fill
 I see mankind retreating
 From a cocky arrogant stance
 From destruction of ecosystems
 To victim of nature’s dance 
 Where bushmeat's viral load
 Transfers itself to humans
 Just what have we to show?
 For the things we are consuming?
 The winter birds and bare trees
 Remain testament to the natural world
 A world humankind now sees
 Corrupted by exploiters and churls
 Our world so terra formed
 To overwhelming degradation
 And Australia heading so
 Observe and save our nation
