The world is narrow and ways are short and our lives are dull and slow	A
For little is new where the crowds resort and less where the wanderers go	A
Greater or smaller the same old things we see by the dull road side	B
And tired of all is the spirit that sings	C
of the days when the world was wide	B
	-
When the North was hale in the march of Time	D
and the South and the West were new	E
And the gorgeous East was a pantomime as it seemed in our boyhood's view	E
When Spain was first on the waves of change	F
and proud in the ranks of pride	B
And all was wonderful new and strange in the days when the world was wide	B
	-
Then a man could fight if his heart were bold	G
and win if his faith were true	E
Were it love or honour or power or gold or all that our hearts pursue	E
Could live to the world for the family name or die for the family pride	B
Could fly from sorrow and wrong and shame	H
in the days when the world was wide	B
	-
They sailed away in the ships that sailed ere science controlled the main	I
When the strong brave heart of a man prevailed	J
as 'twill never prevail again	K
They knew not whither nor much they cared	L
let Fate or the winds decide	B
The worst of the Great Unknown they dared	L
in the days when the world was wide	B
	-
They raised new stars on the silent sea that filled their hearts with awe	M
They came to many a strange countree and marvellous sights they saw	N
The villagers gaped at the tales they told	G
and old eyes glistened with pride	B
When barbarous cities were paved with gold	G
in the days when the world was wide	B
	-
'Twas honest metal and honest wood in the days of the Outward Bound	O
When men were gallant and ships were good roaming the wide world round	O
The gods could envy a leader then when Follow me lads ' he cried	B
They faced each other and fought like men	K
in the days when the world was wide	B
	-
They tried to live as a freeman should they were happier men than we	P
In the glorious days of wine and blood when Liberty crossed the sea	P
'Twas a comrade true or a foeman then and a trusty sword well tried	B
They faced each other and fought like men	K
in the days when the world was wide	B
	-
The good ship bound for the Southern seas when the beacon was Ballarat	B
With a Ship ahoy ' on the freshening breeze	Q
Where bound ' and What ship's that '	-
The emigrant train to New Mexico the rush to the Lachlan Side	B
Ah faint is the echo of Westward Ho	A
from the days when the world was wide	B
	-
South East and West in advance of Time and ay in advance of Thought	B
Those brave men rose to a height sublime and is it for this they fought	B
And is it for this damned life we praise the god like spirit that died	B
At Eureka Stockade in the Roaring Days	R
with the days when the world was wide	B
	-
We fight like women and feel as much the thoughts of our hearts we guard	B
Where scarcely the scorn of a god could touch	S
the sneer of a sneak hits hard	B
The treacherous tongue and cowardly pen the weapons of curs decide	B
They faced each other and fought like men	K
in the days when the world was wide	B
	-
Think of it all of the life that is Study your friends and foes	T
Study the past And answer this Are these times better than those '	-
The life long quarrel the paltry spite the sting of your poisoned pride	B
No matter who fell it were better to fight	B
as they did when the world was wide	B
	-
Boast as you will of your mateship now crippled and mean and sly	U
The lines of suspicion on friendship's brow	V
were traced since the days gone by	U
There was room in the long free lines of the van	W
to fight for it side by side	B
There was beating room for the heart of a man	W
in the days when the world was wide	B
	-
	-
	-
With its dull brown days of a shilling an hour	X
the dreary year drags round	B
Is this the result of Old England's power	X
the bourne of the Outward Bound	B
Is this the sequel of Westward Ho of the days of Whate'er Betide	B
The heart of the rebel makes answer No	A
We'll fight till the world grows wide '	-
	-
The world shall yet be a wider world for the tokens are manifest	B
East and North shall the wrongs be hurled that followed us South and West	B
The march of Freedom is North by the Dawn Follow whate'er betide	B
Sons of the Exiles march March on March till the world grows wide	B
