Nik Hamby - Burn Lyrics

Ten years of blaming
Ten years of doubt
There's arguments and protests
Years of floods and years of drought
The people so divided with no way to take a step
But then the fires showed us all just how bad it all can get
It's only the beginning
But it feels just like the end
And they don't care what's round the bend
They'll just watch it burn
They say they'll start to care when the wildlife disappears
The fire stripped a billion lives and it's only our first year
The forest kelp and the reef are failing
The stratospheric winds are changing
Do we really want to know what's next while the fires are still raging
It's only the beginning
But it feels just like the end
And they won't learn and they won't bend no no no
Oh it's only the beginning
But it feels just like the end
And they don't care what's round the bend
They'll just watch it burn
I can feel it deep inside
A frantic scream is growing
And I just can't run and hide
I've got to fight to stop what is coming
It's only the beginning
But it feels just like the end
And they won't learn they won't bend no no no
Oh it's only the beginning
But it feels just like the end
And they don't care until the end
They'll just watch it burn
