the bushwackers – giant of a man lyrics

[verse 1]
a big storm hit australia
in 1972
that’s when the winds of change began
its time was over due
at a time of war and doubt and fear
you need a better plan
and out of cabramatta came
a giant of a man

[verse 2]
with just one stroke of his mighty pen
he brought us home from war
he shone a light on human rights
and battered down the door
he turned us from our racist past
and made us understand
a champion of equality
that giant of a man

[chorus]
edward gough whitlam
that giant of a man
edward gough whitlam
that giant of a man
[verse 3]
he helped to make a better life
for working families
while the best and brightest of us all
could go and learn for free
he blazed a way for women’s rights
for a fair and equal chance
the architect of social change
that giant of a man

[chorus]
edward gough whitlam
that giant of a man
edward gough whitlam
that giant of a man

[verse 4]
he poured those grains of red dirt soil
into lingiari’s hands
to show that rights had been restored
to the guardians of the land
there’s no hope of change at all
until you take a stand
but he changed our history that day
that giant of a man
[verse 5]
his critics said that he moved too fast
decisions on the run
the things he’d built were made to last
his legacy lives on
and if the end, it came too soon
by an underhanded plan
still, comrades, let us all be proud
of that giant of a man

[chorus]
edward gough whitlam
that giant of a man
edward gough whitlam
that giant of a man
edward gough whitlam
that giant of a man
edward gough whitlam
that giant of a man

[outro]
so comrades, let us all be proud
of that giant of a man
