Sky Was Blue (The Bushfire Song)

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
