I have seen a burning, never seen it higher |
|
If you haven't seen a firestorm |
|
You haven't seen a fire |
|
Saw 'em runnin' down the street, with no home to go |
|
Just the shoes on their feet, nothin' else to show |
|
I have seen hard times, as far I can tell |
|
But I hadn't seen a firestorm |
|
So I hadn't seen hell |
|
Saw the courage of the 'fireys' |
|
What they're trained to do |
|
But you can't beat a firestorm, no matter who |
|
Saw a neighbour with a green hose and a trembling hand |
|
Cursing the thing he loves, this dry, dry land |
|
I have seen a burning, never seen it higher |
|
If you haven't seen a firestorm |
|
You haven't seen a fire |
|
Saw 'em crawlin' up a log with no place to hide |
|
Saw a mother with a joey, before they died |
|
Day went into night when it rained from hell |
|
And it told us who we loved |
|
Guess it's just as well |
