Bushfire Lyrics
In my shoes, in my shoes
There is so much to remind me
As the stars come out above me, home
Cool wind, clear my head
Bright sun grow my food
Strong rain clear my heart
Fill my land
It's a new day
I don't know why it is sold
Don't know why it's so cold
In this life that we live
New day new day new day
In my shoes, in my shoes
There is so much to astound me
As the whirlpool spins around me, home
Bushfire, burn and grow
Sunset watch and rest low
Long night holding child close, feed my dream
It's a new day
I don't know why it is sold,
Don't know why it's so cold
In this life that we live
New day new day new day
It's larger than life, darker than death
We're gonna move those mountains aside
Here come the messages
There is so much to remind me
As the stars come out above me, home
Bright sun grow my food
Strong rain clear my heart
Fill my land
It's a new day
Don't know why it's so cold
In this life that we live
There is so much to astound me
As the whirlpool spins around me, home
Sunset watch and rest low
Long night holding child close, feed my dream
I don't know why it is sold,
Don't know why it's so cold
In this life that we live
We're gonna move those mountains aside

One of the most beautiful and underappreciated of all of the Oils songs. A gorgeous bit of acoustic guitar, a soulful tune and a song that makes you just want to sit and under a tree and appreciate life and the beautiful land under our feet here in Australia. Another Midnight Oil song where they fit a million wonders and treasures of life into a few stanzas. Classic Jim and Peter work. I adore this. As for meaning? Well, to me it's a song about life, the crazy 'whirlpool' wonder of it all.
