As a nation we watched with bated breath
Mourning all those who could not escape death
Saddened by the enormity of the damage
Australia stood still as the Victorian fires savaged
All Australian's watched and prayed
As lives and homes were lost to Black Saturday
Your loss, your pain, burning embers in our hearts
The wildfire so fierce tearing families apart
We watched helplessly as your homes were taken
Australian's nationwide felt their duty awaken
We will do anything to get you back to your lives
Unity in disaster is the message underlined
