《Under Southern Skies》歌词欣赏：
演唱：妮基?韦伯斯特
There is a peace in our hearts
And a hope in our hands
We're a family of children
we come from many different lands
Our time is just beginning,
Our race is yet to run,
But if you would take us with you
Then we have already won
Under the southern skies
Together in this land
Every voice in celebration
A family hand in hand under the southern skies
As one we rise
And turn our eyes to see
All the wonders of the future in a world of harmony
There's a great spirit rising
From the desert to the sea
As it sweeps across the southern land
It comes to you and me
Where the dreamers are the dreaming,
Where the race of the edge yet to run,
Every child can be a hero
If our world could live as one
