Gill Hicks was a South Australian living her life in London town
As a Publishing Director of a culture magazine Blueprint round
On 7 July 2005 her life changed in a subway tunnel explosion
When Muslim terrorists detonated a bomb in great subversion
She was cruelly maimed it seemed at once that her life was ended
To Hospital only as ‘One Unknown’ her identity not comprehended
She fought so hard and survived the day but her legs were lost
And was left to piece together her life with this great cost
A brave woman has rose to battle for right against the wrong
An MBE and South Australian of the year she proudly sings her song
Working hard for others she labours for charities sake
And knows that she has beaten evil in the life she does make.
Hail a brave Australian who we are all proud of!
