This Is Holroyd

Verse 1:
Looking out before me, I wonder to myself
What makes this place so special? What makes it work so well?
It’s a wealth of history, a wealth of culture
There’s many reasons why
So let’s take the chance to come together
As we climb to new found heights

Chorus:
It’s a place of opportunity
It’s our gateway to the west
It’s community within itself
It’s Holroyd - nothing less
Bringing young and old together
We know it well
This Is Holroyd - this is where I live

Verse 2:
As we start the new millennium, the past is in our minds
From the dreamtime to our early settlers
our neighbours of all kinds
Our cultural diversity, would make our founders proud
So let’s build a bridge, let’s open up
C’mon sing the song out loud

Repeat chorus

Bridge:
Built around the people, and an industry so strong
It’s clean and green and growing fast
And always moving on

Repeat chorus
