Firestorm

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

Saw 'em runnin' down the street with no home to go

Just the shoes on their feet nothin' else to show
