Huon Valley Bushfire Tribute Video 2019

During the week I’ve been touched by humans kindness overflowing. I’ve felt the need to help carry and support my community too and this might be a way that someone somewhere might feel uplifted and cheered on during this uncertain time. This tribute to each and everyone involved - from me to you

“TOGETHER”
Huon Fire Tribute sing a long
to the tune of “I am Australian”
by Louella Jury

This wasn’t meant to happen,
This wasn’t in my plan
I didn’t think I’d have to
get away And leave my land
No time to pack my memories,
No time to say goodbye
I count my lucky stars I had
the time there of my life

That old tin roof, it sheltered me
Standing strong and firm
Protected me and all the while
Asked nothing in return
The walls around me, now are filled
Responding to the call
As open doors and open arms
Give refuge to us all

CHORUS
Holding on
When nothing’s certain
Keeping hope
When all the hope is gone
Digging deep
A little further
Finding
Peace that
I can understand

Letting go of the fear inside
Leaves room to feel again
There’s comfort In the knowing
That I am not alone
Others risk their life for me
Withstanding more than I
Defending that old roof of mine
They’re hero’s standing by

CHORUS
Holding on
When nothing’s certain
Keeping hope
When all the hope is gone
Digging deep
A little further
Finding
Peace that
I can understand
If I draw a circle
from where I stand today
Within that space are people
who believe I’ll find my way
They stay with me, right by my side
Our hearts become as one
To listen and To dry my tears
We are Australian

CHORUS
We are one
But we are many
And from all
The towns around we come
We share a dream
And sing with one voice
I am
You are
We are Australian
Finding
Peace that
I can understand
