Claiming It Anyway - Home Safe Lyrics

Early Warning, Drove the east road to the bay
Smoke Cloud breathing down their necks
Angry Embers from the Blaze
Backyards turned to ashtrays, Please Evacuate
Who are we to argue, Queensland Weather's had its way

I wish we had the water, I wish we had the rain
It shouldn't come down in tears reading the mail today
I wish we had the answers, I wish we had a way
But its all bone dry, I hope you come home safe

They might be the lucky ones, they got far away
Spare a thought for the fighters
Spare a thought for the brave
I feel it in my lungs something rock n' roll can't save
You can burn away this singing voice
The guitar's coming out to save

I wish we had the water, I wish we had the rain
It shouldn't come down in tears reading the mail today
I wish we had an answer, I wish we had a way
But its gone bone dry, I hope you come home safe
I wish we had the water, I wish we had the rain
It shouldn't come down in tears reading the front page
I wish we had the answers, I wish we had a way
But it's gone bone dry, I hope you come home safe
