Song: Under Southern Skies

There's a peace in our hearts and a hope in our hands
We're a family of children.
We come from many different lands
Our time is just beginning,
our race is yet to run
But if you will take us with you

then we have already won

Under the southern skies together in this land
Every voice in celebration,
a family hand in hand
Under the southern skies

as one we rise and turn our eyes to see
All the wonder of the future in a world of harmony

There's a great spirit rising from the desert to the sea

As it sweeps across this southern land
It calls to you and me.

Where the dreamers are the dreaming
We're the fates of things yet to come,

Every child can be a hero if our world could live as one

Under the southern skies

together in this land
Every voice in celebration,
a family hand in hand
Under the southern skies

as one we rise and turn our eyes to see
All the wonder of the future in a world of harmony (Repeat 3 times)

All the wonder of the future in a world of harmony.

还记得悉尼奥运会开幕式，整个体育场是一片蓝色的海洋，有吊起来的各种各样的水底生物，有一个小女孩在其中遨游，也正是她唱了这首非常好听的《under southern skies》。Nikki Webster，当时年仅13岁，却有着甜美令人感动的歌喉，看过介绍，说当时选了好多孩子，导演让把他们一一吊起来，在高空，看谁能在那么高的高度也能表演自如，能演唱完这首歌。最终，只有这个小女孩能完成任务，导演选择了她。果然，开幕式上，她的表演给全世界留下了美好的印象。澳大利亚，一个美丽的国家，她用歌声告诉全世界，奥林匹克的精神在南方的天空下是活力，是美好，是拼搏，是团结。
