Harlin Firmin - Bushfires Lyrics

I remember when I was a baby
That sweet Victoria lady
A land that made me
Now this land dismays me

As this heat sweeps on through
Now our hearts are burnt in two
To see a lady in such pain
The sky is charred remains

To those heroes in gold suits
See Australia salutes you
For your bravery
I guess I'm blazing on me

And we will sing this song
To our sweet Victoria no longer moans
And new life will come
Sadly just like our new life has gone

And there are those that didn't feel at peace
Who run with hoses for the families
Oh I dismay
Oh Black Saturday

Breezy gum trees breathing through your windows
Now it's black smoke
Grab your fire plan
And photo album
And head for the dam

Dam why it has to burn so brightly
Eating trees and dry leaves
Eating houses and families
Bringing us to our knees

Please say we never going to go that way
Oh that all that dismay
Black black black Saturday
For you baby I say

We will sing a song
To my sweet Victoria no longer moans
And new life full come
Sadly like just like our new life has gone

And there were those who did not feel at peace
Who run with hoses for the families
Oh I dismay
Oh so I dismay
Ooh so I dismay
Oh black Saturday
