Performed by David Denborough, Mary Heath and Vicki Bennett
This land knows fire
This land knows grief
We’re in this sorrow with you
We’re watching all your acts of courage
As you’ve seen your homes go up in flames
The faces of those forever gone
In our memory they will remain
And all across this nation
We’ll be with you
In the long reclamation
This land knows fire
This land knows grief
We’re in this sorrow with you
Ponting’s men they all came out
They’ve never seen ashes like this before
Arms of friendship open wide
As we all keep asking why
This land knows fire
This land knows grief
We’re in this sorrow with you
And all around the world
People are tuning in
Opening their hearts
With respect for the people of Victoria
This land knows fire
This land knows grief
We’re in this sorrow with you
We’re watching all your acts of courage
As you’ve seen your homes go up in flames
The faces of those forever gone
In our memory they will remain
And all across this nation
We’ll be with you
In the long reclamation
