The Bend

The Bend

Do I want to know what's around the bend

What fate waits for me

Who I will meet

Where the winding road will take me

I know where the road has brought me

The worries and pain along the way

It had made me love people, I shouldn't

Lose people I loved

Do things I knew I shouldn't have done

Still, I walk this road

Endlessly travelling into the future

Sure of the past

Unsure of where the future is

Do I want to know what is around the bend

Not really

Why spoil the fun?

Ned Kelly

Ned Kelly

A villain to some

A hero to most

He fought

He stole

And he killed

Stood up to the law

As he rode the outback

Robbing trains and banks

Helping the people as he went

Stories would be told for years

Myths would become legend

The legend would become history

Ned Kelly, the man who fought and won

The man who died doing what only he could do

He is a part of Australiana

Part of the country that created him

Made him a villain

Made him a hero

Made him a legend
