After years of drought
The sun is hot
The wind about to change
One naked flame
Is all it takes
Victoria it would burn

All is quiet
As we approach
In our red truck
Thinking of our families
We will see again
With any luck

The fire has passed
By days end
Someone counts the cost
Townships are gone
Many lives are lost
It\'s my choice
To pull on this gear
I am no hero
Only a volunteer


Dedicated to all bushfire volunteers
