For years the clouds lay dormant
With not a drop of rain.
Then suddenly the heavens opened
To help us heal the pain.

But the water it kept coming
Across our barren land.
It flowed and flowed for miles
Into the dried out desert sand.

The cattle they were happy
There was water for their day.
But upon the rain soaked soil
Their lifeless bodies do now lay.

I will never understand it
How can Mother Nature be so cruel.
We waited for so long
Now I feel like such a fool.

But I am an Aussie farmer
And you will not keep me down.
For I may be near rock bottom
But you will not see me frown.

I will put my hat and boots on
And I will go out on my land.
Because I know Australia’s with me
And everyone will lend a hand.

I am an Aussie farmer
And I will fight until the end.
Mother Nature has nothing
On the love and spirit our community will send.
