A Common Bond

Lyrics

A Common Bond Gary Woods There?s mystery in my make-up, of a past I?m not quite sure Uncertainty within my soul, although my love is pure There?s fear of unknown evils, ?though of George, I?m more than fond God knows it, as he knows that we share a common bond A common bond of purity, of decency and trust A common bond of loyalty, respect ahead of lust ?Til mystery and uncertainty depart my soul for peace I?ve told George, he feels it too, my warm spirit can?t release The passion and the loving captured in a heart so fond Sufficient, for the moment, that we share a common bond A common bond of purity, of decency and trust A common bond of loyalty, respect ahead of lust A common bond of vision for the task we have at hand A common bond of passion for this vast unsettled land Land, land with a history unknown, land with a mystery we share Land, land with a future ungrown, land needing our love and care The care that comes from living in a fit and proper state The love that breeds true harmony, a peace that can?t abate The caring and the loving flowing from aheart so fond The will to share our future, as we share a common bond A common bond of purity, of decency and trust A common bond of loyalty, respect ahead of lust A common bond of vision for the task we have at hand A common bond of passion for Australia, our new homeland
