When the fires came to find us we were mostly unprepared
You always think disaster only happens over there
We woke up in a daze, our rooms were filling up with smoke
And every breath we drew was just another way to choke
Oh
My brother called, said can you come help me battle the blaze
When the embers fall like shooting stars across the Milky Way?
I jumped in my car, tore down the Hume, in two hours I was by his side
Day turned to night, night turned to day, red horizons and nowhere to hide
Do you remember?
Do you remember when the sky was blue?
Where were you when you said farewell to 2019?
Were you on the Mallacoota shore, or were you staring at a screen?
Four thousand waiting on the sand for the navy to arrive
A billion tuning in to watch Sydney Harbour sparkle for while
Do you remember?
Do you remember when the sky was blue?
When the fires came to find us we were mostly unprepared
Our leaders singing hallelujah, gas pipes and coal mines everywhere
Andrew, Geoff and Harvey gave their lives to fight the blaze
And Scotty from marketing was in Hawaii on holiday
Do you remember?
Yes we remember when the sky was blue
