Fires broke out in Australia
And ravaged our wondrous land
But the people stood together
Yes, together we made a stand
The fireys arrived in engines
Indivuduals helped those in need
‘We have to fight together
if indeed we mean to succeed.’
The media took the story
Sensationalised, as they do
We know we lost many animals
A few people, and bushland too
But the heros arrived in droves
Saved animals and properties
The rains came in; the fires went out
And our land is green again
