[Intro]

[Verse 1]
We hoped that in the great unknown we'd find peace of mind
No bother of which direction to go or to keep in time
But take me back to those mid nineteens, those days aren't out of sight
And now we're here I can't promise you no fear but we'll keep this alight

[Chorus]
Holding on to the things that we sought
There was fire in the rain
It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke

Holding on to the things that we sought
There was fire in the rain
It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke

[Instrumental]

[Verse 2]
Did we spend our days living this way to keep the dream alive?
I'm counting coins but I'm happy this way by the country side
I see you there, chasing a way to feed your appetite
And now your here and your living in fear inside your paradise

[Chorus]
Holding on to the things that we sought
There was fire in the rain
It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke
Holding on to the things that we sought
There was fire in the rain
It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke

[Verse 3]
My home is right here we're I'm lying
And I'll keep on with visions of Bawaka and land providing
My home is right here and I'm flying
Over ancient coloured inlets and culture and these things that bind me

[Chorus]
Holding on to the things that we sought
There was fire in the rain
It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke

Holding on to the things that we sought
There was fire in the rain
It was fire in the rain and we were black smoke

[Outro]
We were black smoke
We were black smoke
We were black smoke
We were black smoke
