a number on my back

Singer: john williamson

when i think of all the men that played

that took the knocks and made the grade

the legends that the game has made

i can't believe i'm here

i'll wear the gold with a sleeve of green

it makes me strong it makes me keen

and i'll go forward like a steel machine

'til cracks in the foe appear

could it be a dream

my father's son that's me

humbled by the truth i am

a golden wallaby

and i will seize the day

'cause it belongs to me

i have a number on my back

i am a wallaby

and if the ball won't roll my way

no matter how i try that day

i won't let my temper fray

i'll fight on 'til the end

and i will keep a solid chin

'cause champions don't always win

they're known for coming back again

and we will make amends

could it be a dream

my father's son that's me

humbled by the truth i am

a golden wallaby

and i will seize the day

'cause it belongs to me

i have a number on my back

i am a wallaby

yes could it be a dream

my father's son that's me

i have a number on my back

i am a wallaby
