| Lyrics: | Anna is a dancer, 5 foot 9 in height Her longed for adventure, So she went and took her flight North to South she travelled down But her journey stopped in Brisbane town Something is a-changing, why’s there pain? Why are you aching when you move your body home? She is a miracle time and time again She proves these people wrong as she dances to the end She is my sister but oh she is my friend Now her bodies growing stronger and the days are getting longer As we walk and walk again. Anna is a strong wife, protective she will be Every hour that God has sent she’ll wait and wait with he No colour here, no tales of joy Just a good, strong love that you can’t destroy Something isn’t right and so we’ll wait into the night For him to bring his body home. She is a miracle time and time again She proves these people wrong as she dances to the end She is my sister but oh she is my friend Now her bodies growing stronger and the days are getting longer As we walk and walk again. |
