By the Adelaide, South Australia band, 1971.

Everywhere, see despair
People, what’s the future of our nation
Look around we’re going down
What happened to our jubilation
If we’re strong we won’t fall
See the light one and all
There is no time for hesitation
What is the future of our nation

Everyday, in every way
Politicians give solutions
But in my mind, I know in time
We’ll be the future institutions
Just wait for the hour
There’ll be a new power
There is no time for hesitation
What is the future of our nation

All the while, try to smile
We pretend it can’t affect us
Hope today, you better pray today
Someone will come to protect us
Just wait for the hour
There’ll be a new power
There is no time for hesitation
What is the future of our nation
