lyrics

Tired eyes and a dirty black face
Firefighters silouhette through smoke and haze
A nation’s tears falling down like rain
But it’s never enough to put out the blaze

Flames and fear grow higher and higher
Where do you run to a country on fire
What is the use for the arguing now
When all of your dreams have burned to the ground

Are you ok?
He asked “are you ok?”

A mother and child wrapped in a wet blanket
A farmer and cows who barely made it
A girl who clings to a terrified dog
Staring blankly still in shock

I’m lookin’ around for someone to blame
Angers rise as fierce as the flame
I am your sister you are my brother
I only know that we can help one another

Where do we go from here?
Least we know what is dear

I am your sister you are my brother
I only know that we can help one another
