Oh, Mr Sun! I thank you for your delight!
You're as bright as every light.
Radiant, hopeful, golden, cheery.
Oh, Mr Sun! You take away the eerie.
Oh, Waratah! Just watching you grow makes me shine!
Your flowers are so fine. Tall! Beautiful! Lively! Polite!
Oh, Waratah! Your colour makes me shine!
Oh, time! You watch me as I grow and climb.
The things you've seen over your life.
You're old, wise, and very bright. Oh, time! I'll see you next time!
