Music: The Colour of the Earth

I know it's early days but here is a song I really would like to teach my class for an assembly item - especially in time for ANZAC DAY.

You know, we might just have enough time to learn it!



Lyrics:

Louis was my dearest friend
Fighting in the ANZAC trench
Louis ran forward from the line
I never saw him again
Later in the dark
I thought I heard Louis' voice
Calling for his mother, then me
But I couldn't get to him
He's still up on that hill
20 years on that hill
Nothing more than a pile of bones
But I think of him still
If I was asked I'd tell
The colour of the earth that day
It was dull and browny red
The colour of blood, I'd say
