Today all Australians,
Were saddened by the news...
By the sudden death,
Of cricketer Phillip Hughes...
Our thoughts are with his family,
Their loss it will be great...
He’s their son and their brother,
And he also was a mate...
Hughesy may be gone,
His legacy will carry on for many years,
And spare a thought for Sean Abbott,
Who's fighting back the tears...
You’re in another place now there Hughesy,
Watching cricket from above...
With Sir Donald Bradman,
And those others that you love …
