The farm dams low and the creeks are long dry
And no clouds of rain in the blue sunny sky
From the sun the cattle are sheltering in the shade of the trees
On a day in late Summer of thirty degrees
A four hours drive from here bushfires have left hundreds of people dead
And killed at least one million animals or so it is said
Have burnt a few thousand homes to the ground
And blackened the landscape for hundreds of kilometres around
And further north it has rained as never before
And many towns have been flooded for a month or more
In a Land that is ravaged by fire flooding and drought
We have come to know what climate change is about
And this just the start of it some of the well informed say
For carbon emissions the price huge to pay.
