Verse 3

Is the spirit in the rock?

Or pass the hat around

Is it freedom on the Wallaby?

Or a dusty patch of ground

Is it waltzing Matilda?

Or a hand upon your shoulder

Is this, the spirit of the bush?

Verse 4

She stares at empty cupboards

Just like the day before

It's been so long

She can't take it anymore

Verse 5

But she digs a little deeper

And somehow finds the strength

She keeps believeing

There will be better days ahead Chorus

When he gives it one last try

Through the darkest moments
