Heroes of Wyong
A E
The night was cold and the storm was brewing
D A
We slept till 1
An urgent phone call a cry for help
Frightened, nowhere to run
You drove out in the icy rain
where giant trees fall
You took no thought how to save yourself
Just how to save them all

E A
Hero, hero, that is what you are
F#m /E G
Safe now, safe now, you’re a shining star
E A
Hero, hero, walking in disguise
F#/E G
Hero, hero, should be recognised

Next day at first light fixing burst pipes
We’re walking in a daze
Evacuating and getting us to safety
I watch you and I’m amazed
Looks like a war zone, your checking lost homes
It looks like we’re in hell
Count yourself lucky, our house is still standing, until that damn last tree fell

Hero, hero,

F#m E G D
Fire, ambulance, police and SES
Not living for themselves, but living for the rest
F#m E C D
Super human in the moment, selfless in the test
F#m E G D
Local heroes of Wyong yes, we are truly blessed

Wyong River by Dom Reale 0 votes

Wyong River

It’s the shine and the shimmer
It’s the smooth and the rough
It’s the stone cold water
Sitting by the river is enough

It’s the time for us to chatter
It’s the smell in the air
It’s the peace and the quiet
Sitting by the river in our chair

Singing oh, sweet songs by the river
Hold my hand and tell me that you love me
Oh the years we’ve spent by Wyong River
I smile across as though you’re still here
You’re still here
