Some wonderful music from the 1960s with
The Seekers [Judith Durham].

I'll never find another you.
Danny Boy.
We shall not be moved.
The carnival is over.
When the stars begin to fall.
Walk with me.
I am Australian. [which is to many Australians our national anthem]

Not Waltzing Matilda?

Waltzing Matilda is another popular one.

Our current national anthem Advance Australia Fair is also a good one. [stand with hand on heart]

I stumbled into a cool song called KINGS AND QUEENS which is used in a lot of those AI videos of queens and warrior princesses walking with deadly weapons escorted by gigantic animal monsters. It's got a good beat and leaves you out of breath; the dance video on YouTube is pretty cool.

But I have some comments.
--------------
If all of the kings
Does she mean literally kings? Does that include the emperor of Japan, the prince of Monaco, and the sovereign duke of Luxembourg? Does it include just royalty or does it include CEOs, presidents, prime ministers, generals, etc? Does it includes the patriarchs of extended families or the fathers of single households?
--------------------
had their queens on the throne
I think she means turning over power to (or sharing power with) the queen. I think it would flow better as "put their queens on the throne" meaning an abdication of the king's birthright. Why?
-------------------
We would pop champagne and raise a toast
Let me get this straight. You want me to give up my sovereign birthright, not because it would right some wrong or build a better world, but to give you an excuse to get drunk? I think I am missing the point. If there was one other than the patriarchy needs to just go away.
------------------
To all of the queens who are fighting alone
I cannot think right away of a current sovereign queen whose country is fighting a war. Is this a political struggle? Or a fight against the patriarchy?
------------------
Baby, you're not dancin' on your own
So you're going to give this queen moral support by dancing? I'm not grasping the point, although the dancing in the video is quite entertaining in a high energy sort of way.
-----------------------
And you might think I'm weak without a sword
You can buy swords in lots of weapons stores, or order one from BudK. Or if you're a queen I suspect that the royal armory has one that you could comfortably wield.
From the gestures on the video, I don't think she means a metal object.
------------------------------
But if I had one, it'd be bigger than yours
Assuming a metal weapon, I don't think your 98 pound frame can swing a sword bigger than my 240 pound frame could before I broke my hip.
If you mean something else, this is a meaningless phrase as there is not an easy way for you to obtain one, and why would you want it?
------------------------------
Even so, a Cool song.

"a sovereign queen whose country is fighting a war..."

Queen Victoria for sure. Catherine the Great and Queen Elizabeth II. Several Other British Queens "ruled of their own right" but had consorts

None of whom are alive TODAY or involved in wars TODAY. The key word is "is" in the present tense. Please read my posts before commenting.
