Rain Dance
Smell the smoke, taste the dust
Walkin’ down a river of sand in a valley dried up
Blackened stumps, exhausted springs
Prayin’ that the rains from heaven tomorrow will bring

Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha,

Fields of luscious green quickly turn
Torching, scorching, smouldering they burn
Sea of grey blanketed the ground
Blue sky above shrouded by, clouds of brown

Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha,

Dust storm builds, a nation chokes
Bushfires blazing up and down the coast
(fore)cast high temperatures and gusty winds
Autumnal groves sprouting everywhere in the middle of
Spring

Land unquenched, inflamed, it sweats, it shivers
(in) sweltering heat its parched and bleached, it withers
Arid, humid, dead all life it spurns
Melting, thirsting, seething still it burns

Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha,
Worst drought of our time unites a land
City dwellers giving the farmers a helping hand
Loved ones are lost as heroes are born
Firefighters risk their lives to save our homes

At last the pall of smoke begins to rise
As distant rumbling is heard across the skies
Thunder heralding the rain it brings
Australia once again a land of dreams
A land of kings, a land that sings,
Rejoicing in the newfound life that tomorrow will bring

Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha, Hoo ha
