and here's the lyrics:

Possums in the pumpkin patch,
Possums up the tree.
Clogging in boots on the ole tin roof,
Rattling through my sleep,
Rattling through my sleep.

Wombat digging in the underground,
Soft paw shuffle at night.
Hide inside a hollow log,
Lord those Devils can bite,
Lord, those Devils can bite, whoo, they can bite.

Cane toads hanging at the riverside,
Cane toads at my door.
Nobody loves ‘em, everybody hates ‘em,
Ain't gonna sing no more.
Ain’t gonna sing no more, 
Ain’t gonna sing no more!

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me,
Ain't gonna sing no more.
Whoo!

Fire Burning

Fire Burning #MySongIsYourSong

This song could be interpreted as an old fashoined love song or something much deeper and profound. This song is about an old musician reminiscing about his past. All those opportunities he had. But for circumstances he may have made it. However, he acknowledges that someone has always been there for him throughout his life that helped wash away the footprints (negative memories and thoughts), the footprints in the sand. The "someone" could be a higher spirit, group consciousness or a partner. I will leave it to your own interpretation.

Lyrics:
Sometimes we can feel that we’re back on the road
With music pumping in our head, about to explode.
One day we thought that we would fill all our dreams
But life is made up of so many extremes.

(We) Combe our lives through, we can see all our chances
Locked in the moment and circumstances
All of my life as wake every day
You’re right next to me and you can wash all away

A world full of trouble that can build up so fast
You reinforce good thoughts, place the things that have passed
Into a wave upon the beach as it washes away
The footprints in the sand. 
(Last time) The footprints in the sand
The footprints in the sand.

One thousand miles from Texas

Footprints in the sand

Footprints In The Sand

I could not find words with enough gravity for the current situation. I chose to focus on my hopes for the future.
