(CNN) Australia woke up to a new year on Friday and a slightly different national anthem.
The anthem, Advance Australia Fair, has been tweaked to recognize the country s Indigenous history and communities, Prime Minister Scott Morrison announced late Thursday, hours before 2021.
The first line, Australians all let us rejoice, for we are young and free, will now end with one and free.

Australia has altered the lyrics of its national anthem to acknowledge the country s Indigenous population, a change set to take effect Friday.
While the old version contained the lyrics for we are young and free, the new version changes the lyrics to one and free, in acknowledgment of Indigenous Australians status as the world s oldest continued civilization, according to Reuters. We live in a timeless land of ancient First Nations peoples, and we draw together the stories of more than 300 national ancestries and language groups, and our anthem should reflect that, Prime Minister Scott Morrison said Friday, according to the news service. The changes we have made and we have announced today, I think, achieve that goal.
