Ok well I thought that since there are many people from many different countries on WP, that we should post our countries national anthem.
Of course, we don't need people to post for example, the USA national anthem 50 times so after your countries anthem has been posted then there's probably no need for you to post it again.
Here's the NZ National Anthem.
E Ihowā Atua,
O ngā iwi mātou rā
Āta whakarangona;
Me aroha noa
Kia hua ko te pai;
Kia tau tō atawhai;
Manaakitia mai
Aotearoa
God of Nations at Thy feet,
In the bonds of love we meet,
Hear our voices, we entreat,
God defend our free land.
Guard Pacific's triple star
From the shafts of strife and war,
Make her praises heard afar,
God defend New Zealand. _________________ The hero is no braver than the ordinary man, but he is brave five minutes longer

It may not be the real national anthem for England but it is a lot more relevant and most English people prefer this one. _________________ Controversy begins only where acceptance ends.

It's not the official national anthem on England, but it should be.
And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green
And was the holy lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen
And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among those dark Satanic mills
Bring me my bow of burning gold
Bring me my arrows of desire
Bring me my spears o'clouds unfold
Bring me my chariot of fire
I will not cease from mental fight
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand
'Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land
'Til we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land _________________ Nobody 'suffers' from autism.
