The New Zealand Soldier Song
Lyrics and Music by Don MacLeod and Paul Harris.

Born proud of my country
The blood flows through my veins
Not having marched in my boots
I find it so hard to explain

I wear this badge with honour
On my country's uniform
No, I'm no superhero
I've learnt the duties I perform

From a working class background
Just a regular "kiwi kid"
I went to school and played rugby
Like most of us did

Played make believe war games
Back when we were boys
And G.I Joes were one of
My favourite toys

Raise the flag, Raise it up
Raise the flag up to the top
Raise the flag, unfurl the flag on high

Oh New Zealand my homeland
You're worth the sacrifice
To keep our country proud and free
Oh New Zealand my homeland
Pacific paradise
My birthplace, and the home that I love.

United by the haka
Our anthem sung out loud
A unique blend of cultures
So young and oh so proud
Follow that dream they said
Well I followed mine
It took me just a moment to sign the dotted line.

Raise the flag, Raise it up
Raise the flag up to the top
Raise the flag, unfurl the flag on high

Oh New Zealand my homeland
You're worth the sacrifice
To keep our country proud and free
Oh New Zealand my homeland
Pacific paradise
My birthplace, and the home that I love.
