Christmas Island |
| I volunteered for overseas |
| For I would not leave such friends as these |
| We hid our eyes from a thousand suns |
| But we faced the mad wind, everyone |
| The cloud grew high as I hid a tear |
| For the weapon of peace was the tool of fear |
| On Christmas Island |
| I left the truth so far away |
| Christmas Island |
| Freedom took my soul away |
| I breathed the air, I tasted soil |
| Where the forests die and the harvests spoil |
| Now the horse is gone, you close the gate |
| Say my pain is a twist of fate |
| Well I took your wages, that is true |
| But you never warned of what you knew |
| On Christmas Island |
| I left the truth so far away |
| Christmas Island |
| Freedom took my soul away |
| I did my duty and it did me wrong |
| So the time I have may not be long |
| I will not leave here quietly |
| For the fallout fell and it fell on me |
